Abstract:
Project funded by the European Commission within the framework of DGXIII (Directorate General Telecommunications, Information Market and Exploitation of Research). Demonstration of cost-effectiveness of assistive technology is increasingly important to support decision making on many different levels. Growing concern about limited resources necessitates to strengthen arguments for choice. For different actors on the demand and supply side there is a need for information not only on productivity but also on efficiency, i.e. the utility generated for the end-users given the resources used. Utility measurement should account for general outcome issues such as independent living, satisfaction and quality of life.
