Abstract:

 Following the user-centered approach, focus groups of health and social care experts were organized in two stages. These aimed at identifying end-users' needs and requirements for the ubiquitous care system to support older peoples’ independent living, the CONFIDENCE system. In the first stage, the results suggest four main user requirements derived from the data: easy to use, suitability, reliability and need for an alarm centre. In the second stage, the focus groups covered all parts of the system.
