This study’s aim is to name technical assistance systems which improve the home care situation of care recipients, avoid or delay treatment in hospitals and are suitable for entering the benefits catalogue of the social care insurance. Six assistance systems were identified based on extensive researches, a semi-quantitative benefit assessment, a cost-benefit assessment and a practice-oriented expert workshop. Finally, these assistance systems’ product-specific sales potentials for the target care recipients have been estimated. Generally, it appeared that the investment in technical assistance systems is profitable, not least because this could enable a longer independent life at home.
