What is it about?
Technology can be useful for older adults who want to stay healthy and live at home for as long as possible. However, a lot of different people need to work together to create those technologies. Aside from the older adults themselves these are for example researchers, developers of the technology and funding agencies. All of these groups have different needs and aims for a project. In this study we strive to align the interests of several parties involved in the development of technology for independent, healthy living in older adults.

Why is it important?
When a technology or services is developed without keeping in mind the needs of important stakeholders, it is likely that the technology will not meet their needs. This makes the stakeholders less likely to use a technology. Therefore, it is crucial to align the needs of all involved parties, and this study tries to set an example for doing so.
