AnnotationThis report identifies key issues for the development, installation and use of electronic systems designed to enable older and disabled people to live independently. It highlights important roles for design and installation engineers working at the interface between users, equipment suppliers and manufacturers. It argues that firms will need to develop new skills and change their business procedures, to ensure better information flows between users and producers, if new markets are to flourish. The research was sponsored by the Electrical Contractors' Association (ECA), Mike Stothers Trust, and Atias Corporation (Japan).
