Research on the Design of Smart Bracelets for the Elderly Based on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

Abstract

Under the dual trend of population aging and product intelligence, intelligent aging will become an important exploration direction in the future. This paper takes smart bracelets for the elderly as the research object, analyzes the shortcomings of existing products, and researches smart bracelet design strategies that truly meet the needs of the elderly and enhance user experience. This study is based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory and a methodological model of the hierarchy of needs mapping design strategy. Starting from the physiological and psychological characteristics of the elderly, we explore the multi-level needs and opportunity points of the elderly, and then study the design strategies of smart bracelets that take into account the needs of the elderly at all levels. The results of this paper provide strategic references for developing smart bracelets for the elderly that enhance user experience, and also provide new ideas for more smart product designs for the elderly.
