Abstract

Despite current developments in health care, demographics, and technology, the implementation and use of smart home technologies has so far not been as effective as possible. Possible barriers are a lack of incentives and vision on technology application, the complexity of technology and the financing structure, the multidisciplinary collaboration, and the user-technology interaction. This chapter describes recommendations to increase the effectiveness of smart home technology, which relate to a better user-fit, evidence-based practice, technological improvements, project organization, and the financing structure.

    In the National Implementation Agenda (NIA) eHealth, the Dutch health insurance companies (ZN) state that e-health will become part of the contract policies (and thus financial structure) with care organizations (KNMG, NPCF, and and ZN 2012).
