[VIDEO] Hadaptic Evident: an experimental platform at the heart of digital health

A technology platform for innovation in healthcare

Hadaptic Evident is an integrated infrastructure dedicated to the design, development and evaluation of digital technologies for healthcare. It covers the entire innovation chain, from the development of hardware and software devices to the analysis of their use in real-life conditions.

At the heart of the facility, the Evident Living Lab takes the form of an instrumented apartment, designed to test innovative solutions in an environment close to everyday life. This approach makes it possible to validate technologies at an advanced stage of maturity, while taking into account their acceptability to users.

The Living Lab: experimenting in real-life conditions

Hadaptic Evident's originality lies in its ability to reproduce real-life situations. The space is equipped with numerous devices:

• environmental sensors and connected objects,
• Sensitive mats and motion sensors,
• eye-tracking systems,
• assistance robots and man-machine interfaces.

These facilities enable us to observe, analyze and improve interactions between humans and technology in a variety of contexts: homecare, rehabilitation, assistance for dependent people.

The platform's approach is one of co-design, involving researchers, manufacturers, healthcare professionals and end-users, to ensure the relevance and impact of the innovations developed.

An interdisciplinary dynamic at the heart of Carnot TSN

Labelled by the Carnot Télécom & Société numérique, the Hadaptic Evident platform is part of a partnership research and technology transfer approach.

It mobilizes skills from several disciplines:

• signal processing and artificial intelligence,
• connected objects and networks,
• human-machine interaction,
• human and social sciences.

This interdisciplinary approach is essential to understanding the complexity of digital uses in healthcare, where technical issues are inseparable from human and social dimensions.

A lever for industrial innovation

Beyond academic research, Hadaptic Evident is a strategic tool for companies. Télécom SudParis ' platforms are designed to enable industrial players to test and validate their innovations before deploying them.

In this context, the Hadaptic Evident platform offers :

• a secure environment for experimentation,
• access to state-of-the-art equipment,
• scientific and methodological support.

In this way, it helps to reduce the risks associated with innovation and accelerate the transition from laboratory to market.

Concrete applications for society

The work carried out on the platform covers a broad spectrum of applications:

• tele-vigilance and automatic event detection,
• intelligent assistance for elderly or dependent people,
• interaction with companion robots,
• behavior and usage analysis.

This research is part of a wider ambition: to put digital technology at the service of health and well-being, by developing solutions that are high-performance, acceptable and ethical.

The Hadaptic Evident platform fully embodies the missions of the Carnot Télécom & Société numérique institute: to produce research of excellence, in direct contact with socio-economic needs, and to encourage the emergence of high-impact innovations.

By combining experimentation in real-life conditions, interdisciplinarity and collaboration with industrial players, it is paving the way for a new generation of digital technologies, centered on people and serving a more inclusive society.
