Abstract:
Design pattern languages are already used extensively in architecture and computer science. In 2009 we first proposed the idea of a design pattern language for the health sector and in particular the Ambient Assisted Living sector. Based on the first language, we now present a new design pattern language focusing on “mobile information and communication technology for elderly”. Addressing the increasing importance of healthcare ICT, especially for older users, the next logical step was to build upon the experience from the development of a language for “ambient assisted living”. The pattern language is proposed as a mediator to build and exchange competence interdisciplinary. Therefore, this paper introduces the idea of design pattern languages as well as the newly developed language. Furthermore, best practices in developing and applying design pattern languages are presented to enable the reader to use this as a method to exchange research results and ideas between disciplines and in laymen’s terms, even with novices of the research topic.
