Abstract

To improve the safety of medication and medication compliance of the elderly, the work aims to propose a design method of smart pill boxes based on the integrated Kano-FAST-FBS design process. Through questionnaire surveys and user interviews, the medication demands of elderly users were analyzed, and the Kano model was used to classify the demands and clarify the priority of the demands. Then, combined with the FAST model, the demands were transformed into functions and decomposed into sub-functions, and the function-behavior-structure mapping was further carried out through the FBS model, and finally a systematic design path was formed to build the functional framework and technical realization principle of the smart pill box. Finally, the appearance and interaction design of the smart pill box were completed by combining design elements such as shape, color, material and interactive interface. The feasibility and effectiveness of the design method were verified by fuzzy comprehensive evaluation. The design process combining Kano, FAST and FBS models can effectively optimize the function and user experience of smart pill boxes, and provide a practical medication management solution for the elderly group. Furthermore, the students' humanistic feelings and systematic design perspective are cultivated through the design process which also provides a new approach for teaching of product design.
