Abstract:
In this paper, we present the results of further research according to a communication improvement method within projects with interdisciplinary disposition. This method was used in the Active and Assisted Living (AAL) pilot-region project Smart VitAALity, to encourage elderly people to interact with state of the art technologies and formulate their needs. In addition to various research partners (computer science, economics and health management), business partners and Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs), end-users are also involved, and all these project partners speak a different language, according to their profession. The Use Case focused User Interaction Diagram 2.0 should provide a non-technical translation for every stakeholder independent of their prior knowledge to enhance the development process and capture various aspects, ideas, and suggestions for improvements and, furthermore, it should represent the interaction needs of elderly people. Therefore, the diagram was evaluated by elderly people to improve the feedback method.
