Abstract

Co-creation is a commonly used method in health technology development. At the core of the approach is the development of solutions in collaboration with potential end-users or other experts that represent end-users’ views. In Finland, co-creation is commonly carried through in testbeds: real-world environments or environments that closely simulate real-world conditions. Most testbed services are provided by hospitals, universities, or cities – public sector organizations that have mandated core operations (such as research or patient care) outside the testbed services. It follows from this that the quality of the services may vary. In our ongoing research, we will focus on understanding the quality of testbed services through maturity, the state of repeatability and readiness to serve the customers.
