Research On The Design Of Household Products For The Elderly

The emerging as the population ages,the increasing proportion of elderly population,more and more get the attention of society,the elderly group design for the elderly should receive more attention.Most old people due to the restriction of many factors,activity space is indoors,so the household environment as a part of the old people essential to life,household product design is especially important for the elderly.There is a big difference between the household products of the elderly and the ordinary household products.The elderly household products are more detailed in function and more diversified in the interactive way,which is more demanding for the user experience.However,currently on the market for the elderly living in the design of the product less,no real deep solve the needs of elderly users household life of the product,the aim of this paper is to design the elderly household products,aiming at the above problems.In this paper,based on the trend of home design,firstly analyzes the elderly in the physical,psychological and behavioral characteristics.The differences between the design of household products and the design of ordinary household products are compared,and the design principles and development trend of the elderly home furnishing products are put forward on the basis of multiple case analysis.Based on the family life,I have a deep understanding of the life situation and needs of the elderly and the differences with ordinary people,and analyze the behavior characteristics of the actual users.Through interviews,questionnaires and other forms of user research,the real "pain points" of old age groups were excavated.And through product design to solve these pain points.Therefore,it is reasonable to solve the social hot issue of "caring for the elderly".This article explores the status quo and limitations of the old household product development at home and abroad,puts forward some elderly household product design principle and trends.In the design process,the elderly household products should focus on the ease of use,affinity,humanization,practicality,extension and reliability design principles.Starting from the actual pain points of older users,really understand the user's needs,respect for the user habit,improve the user experience,to ensure the realizability of the product,providing humanized human-computer interaction way,increase user stickiness.The elderly household product design has a broad market prospect,and has a large user groups and the market should be developed,products also focus on the user experience and emotional design,strengthen man-machine interactive contact,barrier-free connectivity,and the development trend of intelligent direction.In this paper,based on my research on the graduate student stage practice project,combined with the design theory and design practice,puts forward some feasible solutions of exploration,and to design innovative,constantly in the process of further design optimized design scheme,and part of the design in order to provide reference of products produced.
