MORFEUS - Future value creation in wellbeing service networks

The joint multidisciplinary project of Aalto University and Laurea University of Applied Sciences, MORFEUS (01/01/2015–30/6/2017) aims to study and develop wellbeing services’ multi-actor ecosystems. The project employs an action research and Proactive Contracting approach and works through service design, information modeling and future studies. In the project, actors of the ecosystem i.e. companies, public and third sector organizations offering wellbeing services are mapped and the relations between them explored – especially in mental health, child protection and substance abuse related services. The main research problem of the project is how cross-organizational collaboration can be facilitated when developing customer-centered wellbeing service ecosystems?

The project develops Service Information Modeling (SIM) suitable for various service domains to which all information required for the procurement and production of a service will be collected. SIM clarifies roles, relations and information needs of the actors and strives to enable the development, production and procurement of more (cost-)effective and client-oriented services in the future. Based on SIM it will be possible to develop novel digital tools to support the functioning of the wellbeing service ecosystem.
