The CHICo Lab project (Creating an Open Lab for Health Innovation Communities) aims at designing an open lab environment for the co-creation of health solutions. The research methodology is based on mapping of knowledge flows, and identification of preconditions for knowledge exchanges and co-creation, followed with open lab development proposition. In order to validate theoretical model of professional and community knowledge integration in open health innovation model, we conducted a qualitative research (interviews with the stakeholders of health ecosystem actors). Based on the research Open Innovation Lab in the Clinical Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences is being created. The identification of knowledge sharing and co-creation barriers around health allows developing a working methodology for community creation and facilitation of knowledge exchanges for innovation among different stakeholders.
