Abstract
The development of a technical system in order to support wellbeing of the workplace (This work is supported by the EU and national funding organizations of EU member states under grant AAL 2013-6-063.) demands for considering the requirements of the user, while developing state-of-the-art technology. Hence, in a first step, the requirements of the end user need to be analyzed as well as sensor technology of state-of-the-art sensors in order to match technology according to the user’s needs. Within this paper different sensors technologies are compared and the requirements of end user at the workplace are analyzed. By matching both, technological as well as sociological aspects allows for the development of technical system, fitting to the demands of end user.
