There are many sources of change within the domain home care. People have changing needs, beliefs, and preferences regarding their care plan how they might want to interact with existing emerging technologies. The devices services available user likely over time depending on a person's capabilities or location current available. resulting interaction methods can therefore also in accordance room location, displays, preferred modalities. Home systems need offer configuration possibilities that support this change. Computer tools short term, but do not provide mechanisms for supporting both long term. This paper presents an approach addresses issue by integrating requirements engineering system turning those into working configuration. Both designed address gradual process -- 'interaction evolution' We present key features our using scenario consider progress date implementing validating approach.
