Research On Smart Pill Box Design Based On Lifestyles Of The Elderly

In the 21 st century,the world generally have to face the social problem of population aging,One of the first problems to be tackled in an aging society is the health of the elderly.The smart pill box used by the elderly as a function of a special product,Its function can help the elderly to carry out scientific and rational use of drugs or not,which impacts on the treatment of diseases of the elderly directly.In smart pill box design,homogeneous design cannot meet the needs of users that become more and more complicated.Especially for the elderly,their lifestyles is significantly different from other groups,their special needs for smart pill box are decided by their lifestyles,life attitude,the physiological and psychological characteristics.Therefore,in order to make smart pill box more in line with the needs of the elderly,it is important to in-depth study of the elderly lifestyles and drug behavior.The paper takes the macroscopic view of lifestyle theory from the overall,And then through the questionnaire investigation on the elderly lifestyles for quantitative analysis,And based on Lewin metal of behavior to analyze the old drug use behavior,synthesized reality interviews to analysis of the elderly demand for smart pill box.At the same time will analyze digital poverty which hinder the elderly from using smart pill box.And established the ICT(Information and Communication Technology)acceptance behavior model of the digitized poverty group of the elderly,discussed how to realize digital out of poverty in the design of smart pill box,Which provides a theoretical basis for the realization of barrier-free use of smart pill box for the elderly.Eventually evolved principles and methods of smart pill box design to make the box to be more suitable for the elderly,combined with the needs that based on the elderly lifestyles,and according to theoretical research conclusions on the elderly smart pill box specific examples of design practice.
