The Innovation & Lab team supports internal projects at the ILDYS Foundation as well as corporate projects, particularly in the following areas:

• SMR & Healthcare
• Medical-Social
• Disabilities, Independence
• Children and Families
• Child Protection
• Isolation
• Intergenerational Programs
• Nutrition
• Addiction
• Cystic fibrosis
• Inclusion
• Technology, VR, AI 

She runs a mobile FabLab called “Breizh Fabribus,” dedicated to disability and independence.

The ILDYS Foundation is a member of the INH Lab digital experimentation Tiers-Lieu consortium.

Its main missions are:

• Co-developing / co-designing innovations
• Launching innovative projects and testing them within the ILDYS Foundation’s facilities and centers (nursing homes, adult and pediatric medical-social residences, home-based medical and social services, mental health and social support services, child protection shelters, healthcare centers, dental offices)
• Evaluate the impacts (acceptability and usage, medico-economic) and the effectiveness of the initiatives
• Disseminating innovations by replicating them in other departments and facilities of the Foundation
• Develop prototypes of assistive devices (Fab Lab)

Collaborating with the ILDYS Foundation allows e-health solutions to be tested in real-world settings within a recognized innovation ecosystem (INH Lab, Village by CA, Technopole, ARS Bretagne, FEHAP).

As a Tiers-lieu for testing, the foundation offers direct access to patient cohorts and multidisciplinary experts to validate protocols, test the usability of tools, and ensure their clinical relevance.

It is the ideal partner for transforming a proof of concept into a concrete medical or medico-social device, rooted in real-world care pathways.

Ideally, the ILDYS Foundation should be involved from the design phase to co-develop the solution with users, thereby ensuring that it meets the needs on the ground.

However, its involvement is just as crucial during the development phase for real-world usability testing, or during clinical validation to scientifically prove the effectiveness of tools, devices, and therapies.

In short, from ideation to deployment, the Foundation acts as a catalyst to ensure the medical relevance and adoption of your innovation

The ILDYS Foundation does not directly fund external projects but acts as a strategic partner, providing support in securing funding from local and national funding agencies (CFP, funding programs).

Its support takes the form of providing medical expertise, research sites, and clinical data.
