Design And Application Of Smart Home-use Medicine Cabinet For The Elderly

The aging degree of our society is increasing.According to forecasts and reports,in 2050,30 years later,my country will become the oldest country in the world.As the population ages,the elderly will face health problems.It is getting more and more attention.With the increase of age,the elderly face frequent chronic diseases and need to take multiple types and multiple drugs.However,due to poor memory and self-care ability,elderly people often forget to take medicine or take the wrong medicine.How to ensure that the elderly can take regular and quantitative drugs according to their own conditions is an important issue that needs to be addressed and resolved in today’s society.In recent years,blood pressure,blood sugar testing and long-term care products have developed rapidly,becoming more intelligent and humane,but the development of home medical cabinets for the elderly still lags behind the traditional simple storage form.Some features lack segmentation.It is an infinite stack of intelligent functions,which makes the operation more and more complicated,which is daunting for the elderly.In addition,the designs of these drug rack products are just replicas of similar products,and there is no substantial breakthrough in design.In order to improve this situation,this article applies KANO model,perceptual engineering,and FAST function method to research the elderly home smart medicine box,and finally designs a home smart medicine box that meets the needs of elderly users.In this article,we first analyze the existing functions of medicine rack products through market research to solve the problem of insufficient consideration for the special needs of users in the design of existing home medicine racks for the elderly.Then,use the user interview method to collect the initial needs of the elderly,adopt the Kano model,classify the initial needs by attribute,extract the perceptual intentions of the elderly,and identify the needs of the elderly for appearance modeling.FAST functional method planning to analyze,prioritize,and build a functional tree model to study the most rational combinations of features,and finally all research content for elderly home smart medicine Integrate into the box design practice.It is hoped that through this research,all members of the society will pay attention to the special needs of the elderly in household medicine cabinets,and provide a reference for the design of suitable products for the elderly.
