AbstractThe future viability of products and services increasingly depends on stable networks of cooperation partners (Solaimani et al., 2018; Osl et al., 2008). For example, products and services in the field of age appropriate assisting systems (AAL) require particularly extensive expertise that is not available or only available to a limited extent in a single company (Ganz et al., 2016). In the Smart Care Service project, funded by the EU and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, partners from different sectors cooperate to ensure that people with needs of assistance are connected with appropriate service providers and products (Smart Care Service, 2022). In addition to a multitude of benefits that can arise from collaboration, it also brings challenges. One of these is the conception of collaborative business models by which the economic advantages resulting from the collaboration can be fairly shared among the cooperation partners. The purpose of the study was to evaluate approaches to the fair distribution of efficiency gains in innovation networks in the health and care sector. Based on these findings, a first draft for a decision support system was to be developed.Keywords: ambient assisted living; decision support system; collaboration; innovation networks
