Abstract
The health management of the elderly population is a topic of extensive research around the world. Starting from the mental model of the elderly, this paper explores the pain points and unique needs of the elderly in using mobile phone software, and explores the unique thinking logic of the elderly through questionnaires, interviews, literature search, observation and other methods. Using factor analysis to summarize the design factors of mobile phone software for the elderly, this paper refines and summarizes the principles of software design for the elderly. On this basis, an interactive interface of health management software based on the mentality of the elderly is designed, which is suitable for the present and the future, and provides new strategies for the theory and practice of age-friendly design.
