TAALXONOMY
The taxonomy to effectively classify products and services from the area Active and Assisted Living (AAL)
TAALXONOMY was developed to systematically classify products and services in the field of Active & Assisted Living (AAL) and to present their functions in a transparent and comparable manner. The model helps users, organisations and solution providers to identify suitable technologies more easily and to compare them with one another.
The project was funded by the Federal Ministry for Innovation, Mobility and Infrastructure (BMIMI) as part of the Austrian ‘benefit’ funding programme and supported by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG).

Practical application
The TAALXONOMY classification forms the basis for the online product catalogue ‘AAL Products’, a service provided by the AAL Competence Network. By standardising the structure of functions and areas of application, assistive technologies and services are presented clearly and made comparable.

Benefits of TAALXONOMY
TAALXONOMY establishes a common standard for describing AAL solutions, thereby offering numerous benefits:
- Standardised classification of products and services
- Transparent comparability of functions and areas of application
- Support in finding suitable technologies
- Improved guidance for users, organisations and solution providers
- Basis for the online product catalogue ‘AAL Products’
Further information
Further information on the project and the development of the taxonomy can be found on the TAALXONOMY project website. The scientific background and results of the project are also documented in the publication ‘TAALXONOMY: Development of a practical taxonomy for the effective classification of AAL products and services’.
In addition, you can visit the online product catalogue ‘AAL Products’, which utilises the TAALXONOMY classification to provide a structured overview of assistive and smart technologies.
