Purpose and goal
The objective of the project has been to produce a plan for the establishment of a testbed in elderly care, aimed at ICT, sensor technology and distance spanning technology, in Skellefteå. The objective has been reached, since the decision to go forward with a full application for the establishment of a testbed in Västerbotten has been made. This will be done in the form of a joint application for three of the pre-studys in Västerbotten.

Approach and implementation
The project approach has been that the parties have had responsibility for different kinds of target group analyses. The analyses have covered elderly care, business, research and developers/innovators. The needs of these target groups have been weighed together to give a joint picture of the needs and possibilities. The results have also been discussed with two other pre-studies in Västerbotten. Furthermore, benchmarking has been applied by studying other more or less established test beds.
