This paper describes the end-user involvement methodology for the experimental phases of the HAPPY AGEING project (AAL-2008-1-113). The project started on 1st April 2009 has the major aim of validating a customizable system for supporting the older people in daily activities. For this reason, the involvement of the end-users is required since the beginning of the project, following the user-centred design paradigm. The most important findings will be achieved after the completion of the HAPPY AGEING field trial, that is still running in three countries (Italy, Hungary and The Netherlands).

The HAPPY AGEING project involves end-users in the design and testing of a customizable system to support older people in daily activities, with the most important findings expected after the completion of the field trial in Italy, Hungary, and The Netherlands.
