AbstractREACH states a complex system of systems that is not only
developed by highly multi-disciplinary consortium, but moreover is situated in an environment
comprised of a multitude of stakeholders (ranging from governments down to
end-users) and external systems. Due to the criticality of personal data and the legal impact
of medical, preventive feedback handled by REACH, and considering later CE certification
requirements. It is pertinent to follow even from very early, explorative, and conceptual
R&D or pre-product development phases onwards a structured systems engineering approach.
In this paper, the key aspects, methods, and tools of this approach are presented,
and it is shown how they were used in the concept development stage to systematically
translate a variety of inputs and analyses (stakeholder workshops, user studies, use case
analyses, technology analyses, etc.) into formalized requirements and a holistic system
architecture blue print serving as the basis for further work organization in the project.Keywords: assistive and preventive technology, systems engineering, system architecture development, requirements engineering
