Abstract
This paper aims to explore the design of intelligent products based on the needs of elderly users. Based on the existing literature results, the possibility of design intervention in the management of chronic diseases of the elderly was proposed, and the general characteristics and behavioral characteristics of the elderly users were studied by questionnaire method, the acceptability and subjective attitude of the elderly in using intelligent products and services were found, and the survey results were analyzed by mathematical statistics. The results showed that older people who considered it necessary to record physical data were higher than those who did not. With the increase of education, the proficiency of using mobile phone also increases; According to the elderly’s score of functional needs, the function with the highest score is automatic detection, followed by automatic analysis, remote consultation, diet therapy and community communication. Finally, based on the questionnaire survey results, this paper developed the design practice of intelligent medical products for hypertension, a common chronic disease of the elderly, and proposed the design strategy of intelligent products and services for chronic disease management of the elderly.
