What type of innovation effects can you expect when offering e-services in the AAL domain.
The objective of the AAL-FOOD project (funded by the AAL Joint Programme and VINNOVA) is to develop e-services that assist elderly in their procurement, preparation and the social construct of eating food to maintain a diverse nutritional intake, and hence stay healthy longer. The project consists of members from Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, Romania and Sweden. The AAL-FOOD project has so far completed collecting user requirements from potential users in Italy, Romania and the Netherlands and identified opportunities for design solutions made available through an IT-platform under development. Service classifications have been identified as well as identification of 13 potential e-services which in turn have been ranked in accordance of technical feasibility and implementation. Here we present preliminary results from on-going evaluation work conducted in the AAL-FOOD project. The evaluation aims at identifying effects of innovations through the offering of e-services directed at elderly within their homes.
