Abstract

The work aims to explore innovative approaches to emotional design in wheelchairs to enhance their social integration and quality of life, so as to address the unmet implicit emotional needs of young adults with lower limb disabilities. A NLP-TF-AD emotional needs model was proposed. Firstly, emotional text data on young adults with lower limb disabilities were extracted through multi-source data collection and natural language processing techniques. Next, the TF-IDF algorithm and the co-word network were used to construct a three-dimensional needs system consisting of material care, social belonging, and self-worth. Finally, the FAST-AD axiomatic design framework was applied to systematically transform these needs into wheelchair design strategies through coupling matrix analysis, followed by design practice and user evaluation. An emotional design strategy system for wheelchairs for young adults with lower limb disabilities was proposed and validated through design practice and evaluations, confirming the feasibility of the method. The data-driven NLP-TF-AD model effectively addresses the issue of insufficiently capturing the hidden emotional needs of the disabled group by utilizing data-driven need mining and systematic function mapping. It also demonstrates the potential of emotional design in enhancing the social value and psychological identity of assistive device products, providing an effective solution for the disabled community. This approach offers both a theoretical framework and practical reference for the innovation of assistive devices for disabled individuals.
