Potential benefits:

- Contribution from end-users The primary aim of the AAL Joint Programme is to foster solutions that meet end-user needs. It is important to recognise the contributions that technology and service advancements can make to quality of life of older people. However, even more importantly, it must be recognised that end-users should be the drivers in the development and practical application of these advancements. Industry stands to gain clear benefits and generate a ¡§market pull¡¨ by engaging end-users. A synergistic relationship between industry, service businesses, research institutions and end-users will ensure that products/services reflect user needs and wishes. This will then translate into products/services that are reliable, acceptable, useful, adaptable and marketable. The AAL Joint Programme deems active end-user involvement to be an essential component of activities from the outset and throughout the life of the project (i.e. from planning all the way to implementation, execution and follow-up).

- Commercial benefits A partly affluent market exists and continues to grow as a result of European demographics, so business opportunities are increasing. In AAL Joint Programme, all projects are expected to investigate the commercial aspects of the solutions being developed through business cases, value network analysis and financial considerations. Business cases should focus on customer-driven approach, where the older person (primary end-user) has a central role in defining, selecting and using the product, service or system. If self-paying older person or their network is addressed, the consumers´ willingness to pay has to be taken into consideration. In solutions that require larger investment, the possible financing models (fully or partially), by third parties e.g. by insurance or housing companies should be considered. In such cases, these parties have to be involved in the business development activities. Adaptation to local markets requires scalability of the solutions across Europe and beyond with necessary modularity and flexibility to the cultural, social, economic and legislative differences between countries and regions.

- Socio-economic benefits Innovations for older persons can have significant impact not only on the individual level, but also on societal level. Solutions aimed at helping people to maintain independence in their everyday environment and a high level of intellectual engagement as they get older, will support active, healthy and independent ageing and thus improve the quality of life of older persons. Involving research on socio-economic impact can be an important factor in generating evidence on effectiveness of the developed solutions. The evidence is needed especially when an investment or reimbursement policy of the public sector is needed in order to bring the solutions to the market.
