Find out more now and join us in spring 2025!

Have you always wanted to contribute to advancing new solutions and services in the healthcare sector and/or social services? Then now is the best opportunity. A cycle of our innovation booster “Co-Designing Human Services” will start for the fourth and final time in spring 2025. This last call for participation is thematically very open and focuses on the active participation of people who use the social and healthcare system. This also includes the group of relatives who accompany and support those affected.

Interested? You will find all the useful information, the data and explanations of how you can take part - whether as an affected person, a specialist or a researcher - on our website. We look forward to continuing to work with many teams in the new year and to developing new perspectives thanks to the good mix of research, practice and the experiences of those affected. This will enable us to meet current and future needs in the long term and bring about innovative changes to our social and healthcare system.

17 ideas move on to the testing phase - find out which ones

On 26 September 2024, the online pitches for the awarding of vouchers for the testing phase took place. A total of 19 projects were presented, 17 of which can be funded. The projects ranged from testing the possibilities of virtual reality (VR) as a means of creating new social, cognitive and emotional experiences for a family member living in a facility, to testing conversation cards to promote the well-being of children and young people and improve health literacy on the topic of pain at school, to rethinking the model of trusted third parties for child protection. We are already looking forward to learning more about the project results at the final meeting in March 2025,’ explains Kay Biesel, chair of the panel, the body of the Innovation Booster Co-Designing Human Services responsible for selecting and evaluating innovation ideas.

Interested readers can explore this year’s projects and those from past rounds supported by the Innovation Booster Co-Designing Human Services here in our interactive panorama.

Foundation laid for third cycle of innovation

On 2 May, around 50 people from all over Switzerland attended our forum in Olten, which marked the start of the third innovation cycle. They all took part in a design thinking process and, with their dynamic and motivated approach, helped to lay the foundations for new initiatives and projects for the further development of the social and healthcare system.

Some participants had attended our forum several times before, while for others it was new territory. Whether they came with a specific question or not, the event provided an opportunity to network, delve into topics and broaden their expertise. And one thing was clear: all participants are interested in the well-being of children, young people and families, and have identified fundamental problems that they want to address with many innovative ideas. The event invited everyone to step back, open up and rethink and refine existing solutions in discussion with other participants. The design thinking process that took place that day, with its many questions, was unfamiliar to some, but the feedback was once again very positive. One participant even found it relaxing to spend a day really looking at the problem, rather than immediately coming up with a solution.

Three statements from participants illustrate how the Forum laid the foundations for innovative approaches in the field of children, young people and families:

- “It was exhausting but very rewarding! We were able to sharpen our problem formulation and now know much more precisely how we want to tackle it in the framework of the Innovation Booster”.

- “The event gave me access to a network that I would never have found in this way!”

- “It was worth the time and effort to immerse ourselves in this world. We were able to connect with another group and have now worked on two excellent ideas that we will now submit. Something we could never have done on our own."

Many thanks to all participants! It was a successful and fruitful networking event where a lot of work was done! The next step now is to continue the work and build on the insights gained! Participants are cordially invited to submit their questions by 15 May 2024 in order to remain part of this year's innovation cycle.

Paving the way for social innovation

For the Swiss Association for the Promotion of Social Innovation and the management team of the Innovation Booster “Co-Designing Human Services”, it is important to provide a platform for social innovation in the Swiss social and healthcare sector and to take it forward using appropriate tools.

New practical section on methods and techniques

In the new “toolbox” section, interested parties will find information and literature on designing social innovation processes. The Design Thinking and Co-Designing methods, for example, are explained here, using social innovation as an example. There is also a guide from Health Promotion Switzerland on “Youth participation in health promotion projects”.

Politically active for the integration of social innovation in the promotion of innovation

Even though the importance of social innovation is widely underscored, in public innovation policy it is still neglected. With a view to changing this situation, our association, our members and other stakeholders made a commitment, as part of the consultation on the FRI 25-28 message, to correct the situation by fully integrating social innovation, rather than simply mentioning it in passing. Interested parties will find the arguments and the position paper in the Political initiatives section of our website.

Seven new innovation teams have started

In mid-May, the Innovation Booster panel gave seven new innovation teams the green light to start the second innovation cycle on the annual theme “integrated services and benefits in social and health care”. They will each receive CHF 5,000, which they can use over the next four months to gradually enrich and analyse their problem and develop solutions and further expand the teams.

Methodological tools received at workshop

On 1 June 2023, the new innovation teams were invited to a workshop where they could exchange ideas and receive practical advice and methodological suggestions for the work in the next phase. The feedback shows that the workshop was generally well received and that the participants were able to take home many valuable impulses for the next steps.

Teams from all regions in phase two

In the image of the annual theme, the seven innovation teams which come from across Switzerland have identified challenges that cover a broad range of topics:

  • Ambulante mobile Sozialberatung (D)
  • Cancer survivor (D)
  • Espace de co-réflexion (F)
  • Impiego assistito (I)
  • Solidarity map (F)
  • Spazio ai giovani (I)
  • Zusammen1Plan (D)

On our website, you can find more information about the individual teams and the innovative ideas they are pursuing (French, German or Italian) to contribute to making social and health services accessible to all. Users are involved in all the teams to ensure that the services are designed to meet their needs.

Second innovation cycle successfully launched

The second social innovation forum took place in Fribourg on 4 May 2023. It marked the start of the second cycle of the Innovation Booster “Co-Designing Human Services” with the annual theme “Integrated services and benefits in social and health care”.

In the run-up to the social innovation forum, the innovation booster project team received around 20 proposals from all over Switzerland, which were then examined in depth by the participants. To this end, they went through a structured process in groups, which allowed them to deal with the submitted questions from different perspectives. Several of the submitted topics are regional, but have a national relevance, which is why they are well suited to participate in the Innovation Booster.

First teams have been formed

Most of the participants arrived individually or in pairs and then found like-minded people on site. Some innovation teams even found together at the event, which is one of the goals of the organizers.

Feedback during the forum shows that the event was very useful. One participant said that he had gained additional expertise for his topic and was able to network, which helps to find synergies for cooperation. The forum’s methodology also aroused interest: “We came with an idea and have now gained new perspectives as we were able to talk to other professionals about the idea and discover common ground," explains another participant. Another person had come to discover the approach and during the event found someone who is already a step ahead in the topic they are interested in. The only downside that a participating user from the social sector pointed out was the lack of presence from employers and their point of view.

Next steps: apply for cheque and complete teams

The innovation teams now have until 15 May to formulate their topic and apply for a cheque for the current innovation cycle. If the decision is positive, another input event will follow in June, where the teams will be given the tools to generate ideas for their problem. Until then, there is time to complete the innovation teams, especially to integrate the users’ perspective.

First innovation cycle successfully completed

On 16 March 2023, the final meeting of the 2022/2023 cycle of the Innovation Booster "Co-Designing Human Services" took place in the House of Generations in Bern. Thematically, the first year of developing innovative project ideas was dedicated to "flexible forms of living and support for seniors". In addition to the innovation teams, interested persons and actors from the social and health sectors were present. Following the presentation of the eight projects that ran through the whole cycle, the participants engaged in lively and rich discussions.

The final meeting was also an opportunity to ask questions to two of the innovation teams: Why was it worthwhile to participate in the Innovation Booster?  What characterises the Innovation Booster "Co-Designing Human Services"? You can find the videos of the event on our youtube chanel. channel. An overview of the eight projects is available on our website. The Innovation Booster management team would like to thank all participants for their cooperation and congratulate them on the results achieved.

The second innovation cycle is launched!

In 2023, the Innovation Booster will focus on “integrated services and benefits in social and health care”. We want to make a contribution to the development away from segmented towards demand-driven service provision.

Hilde is 57 years old, single, unemployed. She has health problems, but also cares for her elderly mother, with whom she shares a flat. Everything is too much for Hilde, she feels lonely and overwhelmed. She is in contact with various people from social and health care, but there is no solution that takes the whole situation into account and helps to develop a perspective.

Many people who have contact with social and health issues know these and similar stories. The 2023 call for ideas of the Innovation Booster “Co-Designing Human Services” wants to contribute to improving the situation for Hilde and many others with similar problems with the annual theme "integrated services and benefits in social and health care". Not only professionals should develop new solutions, but also people like Hilde. She and all other users know best the needs from their own experience. This needs to be taken into account when developing new solutions. Although this may seem ambitious, a different view of problems and new ideas for solutions on a small scale can be of great potential.

Are you aware of situations that lead to vulnerable people being left behind and not receiving adequate social and health services, or not receiving them at all? If so, you should register for the Social Innovation Forum on 4 May 2023 in Fribourg - whether as a user (i.e. beneficiary), a professional, an employee of a state institution or a researcher. Whether you are an individual or a professional, by participating in the innovation booster you can contribute to a better health and social care system that benefits those who need it.

Eight ideas move on to the testing phase

At the pitches organized by the IB Co-Designing Human Services 8 out of 16 teams successfully competed for the next phase in the innovation cycle.

From the initial 19 ideas selected at the Social Innovation Forum 16 innovation teams competed for a testing cheque after completing the ideation and discovery phase. At the pitches that took place online at the end of September and October, 8 teams were able to convince the Panel to move on to next phase. They will receive a testing cheque worth up to 10’000 CHF.

In this last phase of the innovation cycle, the teams put to test the ideas they enriched during the previous phases. With the money received, the teams will be able to design the prototypes of the services and products that they are aiming to realize. The results of this work will be showcased at the Finale date of the Innovation Booster on 16 March 2023. The programme of this event will be published as soon as it is available.

List of ideas supported for the testing phase

Successful Social Innovation Forum

On 5 May, almost 100 people met in Olten with the common ambition to bring social innovation to the theme of the year proposed by the NTN Innovation Booster Co-Designing Human Services: Flexible forms of living and support for seniors.

A total of 27 innovation teams from all over Switzerland presented project ideas. The panel, consisting of representatives from research, institutions, authorities and users, was faced with the difficult task of reviewing the most relevant and innovative project ideas. In the end, the panel gave 19 project ideas the go-ahead. The selected innovation teams will be awarded a first cheque of CHF 1,000. Along a multi-phase innovation cycle, they can now further develop their project ideas and possibly test them starting in autumn 2022.

The management team of the Innovation Booster would like to thank all participants of the Forum for their commitment, dedication and the constructive day full of exchange and inspiration. In Switzerland this nation-wide forum is a definite first!

Appel 2022

Thème de l'année 2022 : Formes flexibles d'habitat et de soutien pour les seniors

L'Association suisse pour la promotion de l'innovation sociale a obtenu un subside d'Innosuisse pour mettre en place et réaliser un « NTN Innovation Booster ». Afin de promouvoir l’innovation, ce financement permet de réunir des actrices et acteurs de la recherche, des champs professionnels et de la société civile autour d’un thème, et de soutenir financièrement les premières étapes d’un développement de projet. L’objectif est de permettre de lancer et de tester des idées innovantes dans le domaine du social et de la santé. « L’Innovation Booster Co-Designing Human Services » est une chance unique pour un domaine où le « capital-risque » et les moyens pour l'innovation font souvent défaut.

L’idée de fond : Les usagères et usagers sont des personnes expertes des services auxquels elles font recours – il est donc important de les inclure dans le développement de ces services. Le « co-designing » est un processus d’innovation ouvert dans lequel les expériences et les besoins des usagères et usagers sont les boussoles et moteurs de l’innovation.

Les défis actuels : Notre vie quotidienne se transforme, tout comme les besoins en matière de services sociaux. Alors que l’espérance de vie augmente, de plus en plus de nouvelles attentes émergent quant aux formes du vivre ensemble et les appels à plus d’autonomie jusqu’au plus grand âge se multiplient. De même, les structures familiales et les modes de vie se diversifient, par exemple à la suite d’une expérience migratoire. Enfin, sur le marché du travail et au sein des entreprises, de nouvelles formes d’emploi – plus flexibles mais aussi plus précaires – se développent. Face à ces changements, les services sociaux et de santé sont amenés à évoluer et à trouver de nouvelles solutions.

Le NTN Innovation Booster « Co-Designing Human Services » : Nous invitons les usagères et usagers de services sociaux et de santé ainsi que les professionnel·le·s de ces secteurs à se mettre en réseau. Il s’agit de permettre à des « équipes d’innovation » de se former dans le but de développer ensemble une réponse innovante à un besoin important en lien avec la thématique de l’année. Par l’échange, elles précisent leur projet et développent une idée d'innovation : comment mieux résoudre des problèmes nouveaux (ou connus !) ? À quoi pourraient ressembler de nouveaux services ? Comment améliorer la position des usagères et usagers dans les services sociaux ? Quelles sont les nouvelles formes de coopération entre les institutions, les services, les organisations et les usagères et usagers ? Quelles pourraient être les nouvelles et meilleures formes de soutien pour les groupes défavorisés sur le plan social et/ou de la santé ?

Thème de l'année 2022 - Formes flexibles d'habitat et de soutien pour les seniors : L'espérance de vie a augmenté au cours des dernières décennies et la part des personnes âgées ne cesse de croître au sein de la population. Ainsi, selon l'Office fédéral de la statistique, le nombre de personnes âgées de plus de 80 ans en Suisse passera de 0,4 million en 2017 à 1,1 million en 2045. La génération issue du baby-boom de l’après-guerre qui arrive aujourd'hui à l’âge de la retraite a des souhaits et des attentes différents de ceux des générations précédentes : les personnes âgées souhaitent conserver leur autonomie le plus longtemps possible, vivre chez elles ou dans des formes de vie collective et disposer d’un espace de vie individuel.

Le vieillissement de la population entraîne également de nouvelles situations auxquelles les services sociaux et de santé doivent répondre : par exemple, les personnes souffrant de handicap, dépendantes ou nécessitant des soins particuliers deviennent de plus en plus âgées et ont besoin de formes adaptées de conseil, de soutien, d’accompagnement et de soins. Les services sociaux et de santé sont appelés à s’adapter à ces nouveaux besoins. Il s’agit par exemple de développer des formes de logement flexibles et adaptés aux besoins, de modèles diversifiés de soins à domicile, de soins de courte et de longue durée, de services intermédiaires flexibles et de services de longue durée, de formes de financement équitables ou encore de modes de cohabitation entre les générations ou dans les quartiers.

Quelles sont les prochaines étapes à entreprendre ?

  • Faites connaître le thème de l’année dans vos réseaux.
  • Réfléchissez aux besoins de développement à ce sujet (dans votre domaine). Peut-être avez-vous déjà des premières idées.
  • Recherchez des partenaires pour créer une équipe d’innovation. Une équipe d’innovation est composée d’usagères et d’usagers de professionnel·le·s de terrain des services sociaux et/ou de santé et de spécialistes de la science et de la recherche. Elle se compose d’environ 6 à 8 personnes. Essayez de rassembler différents points de vue pour permettre l’émergence d’idées inattendues.
  • Dans le cadre de la Semaine de l’innovation sociale, du 14 au 18 mars 2022, participez à des manifestations sur le thème de l’année dans votre région : ces manifestations offrent des possibilités de mise en réseau et de formation d’équipes d’innovation. A ce propos, veuillez consultez le programme de la Semaine de l'innovation sociale.

Lors du Forum de l’innovation du 5 mai 2022, les équipes d’innovation présenteront leurs idées et recevront un feed-back d’un jury (panel de l’Innovation Booster) sur la base de critères (lien avec le thème de l’année et répondant à un besoin identifié, originalité, nouveauté, potentiel d’innovation). Le panel invitera les équipes d’innovation ayant les idées les plus prometteuses et les plus innovantes à les enrichir et à les développer pendant un mois (phase d’idéation). Elles recevront pour cela un soutien financier (1000 CHF) et, si nécessaire, des conseils méthodologiques. Cinq mois plus tard, certains projets seront sélectionnés sur la base de critères et bénéficieront d’un soutien financier supplémentaire, de sorte que 14 à 16 « prototypes » verront finalement le jour. Sur le site web du Booster, vous trouverez prochainement une présentation de l’ensemble du processus ainsi que le document suivant sur les conditions de soutien financier.

Chaque équipe d’innovation est invitée à envoyer un document écrit d’une page sur son idée de projet à info(at)innovationsociale.ch avant le 28 avril 2022. Ce document doit fournir une brève réponse aux questions ci-dessous et fait office d’inscription au Forum de l’innovation.

  • Qui sont les membres de l’équipe d'innovation ?
  • Quel est le point de départ de votre réflexion ? À quelle question/à quel besoin votre idée apporte-t-elle une réponse ?
  • Quel est le lien avec le thème de l’année ?
  • Que voulez-vous développer ?
  • Comment souhaitez-vous collaborer au sein de l’équipe d’innovation ?
  • Quels sont les défis du projet ?

Intéressé.e, mais pas encore membre d'une équipe d'innovation ? Toutes les personnes intéressées peuvent participer au Forum de l'innovation sociale, qu'elles fassent partie ou non d'une équipe d'innovation. Les personnes individuelles peuvent faire part de leur intérêt ou de leurs idées lors du Forum de l'innovation sociale; du temps sera prévu à cet effet. Ainsi, il est tout à fait possible que de nouvelles "équipes d'innovation" se forment le jour même ou que des personnes intéressées s'intègrent dans des équipes existantes. Dès aujourd'hui, vous pouvez faire part de votre intérêt à participer au Forum de l'innovation sociale en envoyant un message à l’adresse info(at)innovationsociale.ch. Ici aussi, le délai d'inscription est fixé au 28 avril 2022.
