对创新技术的未来使用及其各自的社会影响的预测是技术评估和负责任的研究与创新的核心。利益相关者和用户的参与往往被认为是重要的，以扩大设计和技术规格之前，它的使用;同时，需求分析通常用于确定哪种类型的已经开发的技术是最适合充分满足特定的社会需求。因此，我们要问的是，需求分析的过程是否可以用来使利益相关者和用户能够设想和评估未来的技术。关于痴呆症患者的辅助技术，将通过侧重于相应的护理安排来回答这个问题，这是一个迄今为止没有使用或只使用低水平技术的领域。这些人对支持的需求通常是用非技术术语表达的。我们发现，技术开发人员的参与有助于这些参与者...
ABSTRACTAnticipation of the future use of innovative technologies and of their respective societal impact is at the core of technology assessment and responsible research and innovation. Stakeholder and user involvement is often thought to be important for broadening the design and specification of technology before its use; meanwhile, demand analysis is typically used to determine which type of already developed technology is best suited to adequately meet a particular societal demand. Thus, we ask whether the process of demand analysis can be used to enable stakeholders and users to envision and assess future technologies. This question will be answered regarding assistive technologies for people with dementia by focusing on the respective care-giving arrangement, an area where up to now no or only low-level technologies have been in use. The demands of these people for support are typically expressed in nontechnical terms. We find that the involvement of technology developers helped these participants ...
