Since 30 April 2010, the VERITAS project is undertaking a survey among designers and developers in order to better understand the design and development process of products and services for people with disabilities and functional limitations as well as older people.

Designers or developers active in the design and development process in the automotive, smart living spaces, workplace, ehealth and/or infotainment domain, are invited to complete the survey through the relevant questionnaire(s):

• Automotive
• Smart living spaces
• Working environment
• E-health
• Infotainment

The questionnaires have been designed to identify the industrial user needs of designers and developers per application sector in terms of procedures followed for the design and development of new products and their potential relation with the older people and people with disabilities in the VERITAS project. Its evaluation will be the basis to implement appropriate tools and methodologies in order to increase awareness and need for accessibility.

The data provided by participants will not be distributed outside the project, nor will individual data allow tracking the respondent's identity. The data will be considered and analysed only in an aggregated anonymised format.

The organisers of the survey believe that the participants' valuable contribution will help in extracting project User needs and in preparing a report which will be of great benefit in promoting accessibility for products implementations throughout Europe.

All interested parties can ask for more information by contacting the VERITAS project.
