The secondary and tertiary end-users were directly involved in the design, development and feedback process, as well as the implementation of the personalised experimental systems that suit the end-users’ needs. This included the assessment of their willingness to pay and the conditions related to this.
The consortium worked closely with larger care organisations (day care centers, retirement homes etc.) and their staff (professional end-users) to assess their expectations and needs.
The stakeholders that might consider using the proposed platform were health and home care organisations that are involved with older adults. Such organisations can provide access to the end-users for delivering a low budget product. The involvement of secondary and tertiary end-users in GUIDed was of ultimate importance as their feedback would be integrated in the development and shaping of the business plan.
Many secondary (relatives and informal caregivers) and tertiary (e.g., care providers) end-users were involved with the GUIDed project in all participant countries.
