Abstract

The sense of making good use of ICT applications in support of elderly care system seems all too obvious. However the actual adoption of such applications is very slow. It seems that good design, testing and intelligent value market analysis, are not sufficient to continue the life of many applications after the running-out of project subsidies. A Belgian multi-disciplinary team gained the hands-on-experience during two projects on this topic. This chapter describes these experiences and the lessons learned during the design, development and proof-of-concept testing phase in the field.
