Abbaye Saint Pierre

Abbaye Saint Pierre is a unique living lab combining a Benedictine-inspired community, retreat environment, and real-life experimentation space for health, wellbeing, and behavioral interventions.

We provide a non-clinical, immersive environment where innovative interventions can be tested in real-world conditions, complementing clinical and laboratory research.

Our infrastructure enables:

• Pilot testing of digital, behavioral, and hybrid health interventions

• Real-life validation of prevention, lifestyle, and patient-centered approaches

• Observation of behavioral, social, and environmental determinants of health

• Co-creation with participants through structured programs (retreats, workshops, daily routines)

We are relevant for projects addressing:

• Mental health and wellbeing

• Prevention and early intervention strategies

• Chronic disease management through lifestyle approaches

• Digital health and patient engagement

• Health inequalities and community-based care models

We contribute as:
👉 Pilot / validation site in real-life conditions
👉 Living lab for behavioral and social impact assessment
👉 User engagement, co-creation, and dissemination partner

Our added value:

• High ecological validity beyond clinical settings

• Integration of community life, environment, and behavior

• Access to participants in structured, longitudinal programs

• Strong alignment with prevention, resilience, and societal impact

We are open to collaboration with academic, clinical, public health, and technology partners across Europe.
