Abstract:
The user-centered design of an e-health system is a complex endeavor: the conflicting interests of multiple user perspectives have to be balanced throughout the design process. Moreover, a common understanding of the interplay between technical, psychological and business aspects has to be developed among multi-disciplinary project partners. In this paper, we describe how the European ambient assisted living project fearless deals with these challenges of a user-centered design process based on a balanced scorecard approach.
