Tiers Lieu : DIGIMENTALLY

Digimentally is a Tiers-Lieu of experimentation specialized in mental health, co-sponsored by health and medico-social players from the Lyon Metropole: Le Vinatier - Psychiatrie Universitaire Lyon Métropole, the ARHM Foundation and Adapei 69.

Presentation of Tiers lieu Digimentally

Digimentally aims to foster the emergence and development of digital innovations in mental health adapted to end users (medical, paramedical and medico-social professionals; people affected by a psychic, neurodevelopmental disorder or mental disability; and their caregivers).

Based on various experimental fields, Digimentally enables any innovative mental health project to be derisked by confronting it with the field, and to co-design and experiment in real or realistic conditions with digital solutions. These solutions can concern the entire mental health pathway: prevention, early identification, care, recovery or social inclusion.

The Tiers lieu service offering

Digimentally is a one-stop shop providing a service offering common to all three consortium members, mobilizing multiple, varied and complementary experimental fields, and collective intelligence and user-centered design methodologies.

Digimentally supports all types of project leaders (projects internal to the consortium, led by start-ups, companies or associations) throughout the innovation journey, whatever the level of maturity of their digital solution.

Digimentally's service offering is built around five main components:

  • Co-design and prototyping of the solution
  • Proof of concept
  • Assessment of the acceptance and usabilityof the solution
  • Real-life usage study
  • Support around clinical investigations

Digimentally can also support project leaders in their search for funding, partners and suppliers. The Tiers lieu also fosters links with its network of partners and the regional and national innovation ecosystem to enable project leaders to benefit from complementary resources.

To be supported by Digimentally means being able to question end-users directly to ensure that the solution developed meets their expectations, adapting it to the reality on the ground and thus promoting its market launch and future adoption by professionals, patients and caregivers.
