The Design Of Elderly Auxiliary Products Based On Ergonomics Theory

The issue of elderly has become a heatedt topic all over the world. The aging of thepopulation has become a global phenomenon.The proportion of elderly population inChina has also increased.Increasing with age, the human body included sesory-system, immue-system,digestive-system, nervous-system and joints skeletal-system is agine gradually. Thedegradation of body function brought many problems in the daily life of the elderly,such as the decline in vision, hearing hinder communication, cell antibodies reducevulnerability to illness, forgetfulness, insomnia, flexible limbs, and even some oldpeople need helpand assistance to successfully complete the day-to-day behavior.This design set the work-achievement of "young elderly" in Xi’an as the targetpopulation, combined with characteristics of physiological and psychological, the use ofaesthetics, color science, human-computer science, semiotics and technology,investigation and analysis to identify the existing key crux of this population livesurgent problem to establish the problem, and then conduct in-depth questionnaires andinterviews to obtain the user model, the data collated, and then through the conception,principles of analysis and behavior patterns positioning and product the specificarchitecture of the structure, to design a line with the young elderly, live in a certaingrade of ancillary products-multi-functional cane.The design main morphological structure in which confer many of the functionsused to meet and enhance the young retired self: Lighting device, GPS location tracking,voice control system, a fitness sword, medicine box, radio and so on. It insolved theinconvenience generated in the course of conduct of the elderly, and enable them on the basis of their own independent behavior can be effective security, but also providefavorable conditions for the enhancement of their quality of life and improvement of thequality of life.
