AnnotationThis article discussed the authors' experiences of multidisciplinary practice in relation to developing home-based assisted living technologies. The study drew on almost three years' experience of working with a large ongoing multidisciplinary Irish national research programme - the Technology for Independent Living (TRIL) Centre. This involved teams of clinicians, social scientists, engineers, designers, ethnographers and other professionals working with older adults to design, test and deliver home-based technologies focusing on mitigating falls, keeping socially connected and maintaining or improving cognitive function. The authors' experiences are presented through their retrospective team building model, ENDEA (Engage, Negotiate, Do the work, Evaluate/Assess). The ENDEA model is proposed as a blueprint for successful outcomes, through the management and delivery of multidisciplinary research. (JL).
