Abstract

With the rapid development of China's economy and the extension of the average life expectancy of the people, China has entered an aging society. And the elderly, as a high incidence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), their health problems have become the focus of attention. MCI is a transitional phase between normal aging and dementia, and early diagnosis and intervention in this transitional phase is currently the most effective treatment due to the irreversible development of dementia and the absence of effective treatment. Therefore, this paper studies the design of MCI intervention products by combining positive design methods and frameworks. Finally, with the goal of enhancing subjective well-being, “MCI Intelligent Intervention Training Musical Instrument”, an intervention product, that can meet the three design elements of pleasure, personal significance and virtue, delay the decline of patient cognitive function and reduce the pressure of caregivers is designed. The design helps to improve society's attention to MCI, and has a positive guiding effect on the improvement of the positive design theory system and the field of cognitive impairment intervention.
