Elderly people as the indispensable member of the family, we always concerned about their physical and mental health, with the decline of physiological function, it is inevitable that elderly people gradually lose their self-care ability and haunted by disease. The majority of the old man have geriatrics and part of the elder’s life need specialist taking care round-the-clock, these physiological barriers brought trouble and pressure to their family and themselves. At present our country is suitable for the elderly population health care products on the market still is in a state of relatively scarce, for old people, the majority of the medical equipment operation is difficult, if instructions are not clear and even lead to wrong operation, in addition, for the medical product design does not pay attention to the emotional communication between products and consumers, these problems to some extent, limits the elderly people the use of health care products, with the accelerating process of population aging in our country, the demand for health care products market is huge, how can according to the characteristics of the elderly population physiological and psychological characteristics, designed to reduce elderly people live barriers, help them to fight disease and aging, reduce the difficulty of the medical care of nursing personnel products become the focus of university and society, as a professional product design student, I read, do the following relevant research and analysis.This paper according to the aging society background and pattern of "house" of the aged person demand for home care products, that selected topic basis and significance, and summarizes domestic and foreign research present situation of home care products analysis. Based on the division of aging stage, the characteristics of the elderly population and elderly population demand analysis, in view of the aging population’s physical and mental characteristics, material and spiritual characteristics and requirements of various aspects, such as lists of elderly population in terms of product design, to comply with some considerations and design principles. "Accessible design" concept, put forward to theoretical analysis, the accessible health care products and combining with the existing design on the market of induction, comparison and demonstration. According to the characteristics of the elderly people and the research method of barrier-free design for older people with health care products of barrier-free design method and principle of in-depth research and discussion, and case analysis to existing products to do preparation work for design example. According to the research results, this paper discusses application of design theory, carries on the case design, and verify the design is designed by customer satisfaction.
