The Research Of Home Health Monitor's Designing For Elderly Patients With Hypertension

With the popularity of smart devices,internet is accepted by more and more people.Subsequently,mobile health is coming into our life,which can help more and more people realize the self-monitoring on health issues.In addition,people's consistent views on medical health have changed as the result of more possibilities provided for mobile health due to the development of wearable devices and smart medical products.Elderly population,as an important beneficiary of mobile health,can get better physical examination under the better design of mobile health products.Therefore,the study needs to take more consideration on how to make the function and services of mobile health monitoring products more effective and accepted by users.At present,many devices are not designed from the views of the elderly themselves,or designers assume that there is technological divide among the elderly at first,which make them hindered easily by the misunderstanding on the concept of the design.Meanwhile,through the study of the research,the author found that the demand for health monitoring for the elderly suffering from chronic diseases such as hypertension is higher than the average elderly.Therefore,the purpose of the study is to regard the older patients with hypertension as established users and conduct a research on the design of their home health monitoring products.First of all,by the secondary data collating method,arranging and studying the general situation of development,technology and function of products related to health monitoring,and then selecting the two models for health monitoring products used in the elderly patients with hypertension,and analyzing these several aspects,such as function of products,user experience and application scene.These lay the foundation for the follow-up research work.Secondly,using the research method of "user centered" analyzes the general situation of physiology and psychological characteristics of elderly patients with hypertension as well as living conditions of China's elderly patients with hypertension;and then establishing the plan of user research based on life situation carry out life tracking and behavior observation to the target users and their family members,so as to dig out the pain of elderly patients with hypertension in the daily life;and basing on the problem of health monitoring of typical users carries out the targeted door-to-door interviewing.At the same time,by the constructing the typical users and life scenes,it can analyze the dominant and recessive demand of products of health monitoring of elderly patients with hypertension.Finally,by the study and analysis of previous chapters,it can extract the key points of design.According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs,it can functionally divide the summary key points of design to provide guidance for the products design of health monitoring of elderly patients with hypertension,and confirm the design direction and refine the related design elements of design.Then taking the target user as the center,according to the real needs of the environment,applies the reasonable technology to carry out the design implementation and puts forward the design plan of health monitor products.From the theoretical point of view,the subject conducted an initial study for the elder with high blood pressure based on their healthy situation,making it possible to perceive the elder's needs and offer individual help so that the better user-experiences can improve the availability and convenience for mobile health product,which fills in the missing field in the study of elderly-hypertension patients health monitoring product design.From the practical point of view,to apply situation analysis to a professional research ensures a better understanding of physical health and self-management for the elderly patients,which can get great control of their state of illness and improve their health.It will help them avoid something dangerous in life,aiming to provide a more convenient living environment of security and intelligence for target customers.
