Abstract
AAL products need to be comprehensively evaluated before full-scale implementation can be advocated. This requires the stakeholders involved in AAL product development to look beyond the product itself and to include aspects such as ethics, impact on quality of care, meaningful use, economy or social impact in terms of quality of life. Therefore, the chapter reviews models and frameworks that can be applied when assessing AAL solutions.
