A Collaborative System Business Model for Ambient Assisted Living Systems

This paper presents first results of a project which enables elderly people to stay longer in their homes before moving to nursing facilities. Using market available devices an Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) system is developed for the collection of vital data. A minimally invasive radio transmission system and smart home sensors are installed. The data will be recorded, transferred and stored/managed in a private cloud portal [1]. In addition to intelligent data aggregation and the development of innovative functions in the age-appropriate technology-based living, suitable, profitable and fair collaborative business models are necessary to achieve a sustainable establishment. An important key component in the development of a business model is the analysis and description of the value proposition. A scenario analysis was carried out with the aim of assessing potential resident groups and their respective needs, requirements and previous knowledge with regard to the use of AAL technologies.
