Abstract

The work aims to explore the design principles of age-friendly transfer products that balance user needs and human-machine comfort with the focus on the transfer and transportation problems of disabled/semi-disabled elderly people in their home environment. Firstly, the demand of elderly users and caregivers were surveyed, and the Kano model was used to identify the key design points of transfer products; Secondly, the Jack software was used to conduct ergonomic simulation analysis of typical home transfer products to obtain ergonomic key points; Finally, based on the user demand analysis and ergonomic issue points, the design principles for home transfer and transportation products were constructed. Four dimensions of design principles for age-friendly transfer products were constructed, including overall safety, overall user usability, sustainable comfort, and multi-dimensional experience. Based on these principles, a system innovation design practice for transfer and transportation products in the home environment was carried out. This study provides a theoretical basis and practical references for the design of transfer assistance products in the home-based elderly care scenario. The multi-method integration design process constructed in this study can provide methodological references for similar research on age-friendly products.
