Stud Health Technol Inform. 2017:245:1241.

Abstract

Requirements engineering of software products for elderly people faces some special challenges to ensure a maximum of user acceptance. Within the scope of a research project, a web-based platform and a mobile app are approached to enable people to live in their own home as long as possible. This paper is about a developed method of interdisciplinary requirements engineering by a team of social scientists in cooperation with computer scientists.

Keywords: Health Services Needs and Demand; Home Care Services; Mobile Applications.
