- Abstract
- Background: Healthcare systems across the globe face challenges with staffing shortages and unsustainable expenditure, intensified by an aging population requiring more long-term care. Mixed home care, combining formal and informal care at home, is a growing market, where Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) solutions offer opportunities for efficiency and personalized care.
Purpose: To identify, understand, and compare different needs to consider when adapting a value proposition for an IoMT solution for mixed home care.
Method: A qualitative analysis of customer needs is performed according to the value proposition canvas, using a case study of an IoMT solution being adapted to mixed home care. Secondary data and primary data from...

Mixed home care, combining formal and informal care at home, is a growing market, where Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) solutions offer opportunities for efficiency and personalized care.
Purpose: To identify, understand, and compare different needs to consider when adapting a value proposition for an IoMT solution for mixed home care.
Method: A qualitative analysis of customer needs is performed according to the value proposition canvas, using a case study of an IoMT solution being adapted to mixed home care. Secondary data and primary data from interviews with industry experts and stakeholders serve as the empirical foundation of the thesis.
Conclusion: Actors in mixed home care express many similar needs to actors in informal home care and formal nursing home care. However, four overarching needs to consider when adapting IoMT value propositions for mixed home care are identified. The identified needs include reassurance regarding patient well-being and quality of care, adherence to existing routines in mixed home care, facilitated documentation and communication processes, as well as a need for accessible knowledge and education.
