基于老年生活需求的APP应用设计

APP Design Based on the Needs of Elderly Life

目的研究现代老年生活中的信息需求、身体变化和生活重心的转移对APP设计的影响。方法根据马斯洛需求层次理论得到老年人的信息需求包括各个层面,比如生理信息需求、安全信息需求、情感信息需求、受尊重的信息需求与自我实现的信息需求。根据老年人的身体现状变化,阐释老年人在视觉、听觉、触觉和行为能力上对APP设计的特别要求。在生活重心转移和现代生活方式发生巨变的现实中,分析老年人对APP应用的选择趋势。结论满足老年人生活需求的APP规划设计,需要充分考虑老年人的信息需求、生理变化和现实生活状况等,力求操作简洁,功能设置单一化,界面设计清晰化,流程安排直线化。在APP内容设置中既要照顾老年人多层次的信息需求,也要从生活便利、健康保障、益智娱乐等多方面提供专项APP设计开发,吸引老年人积极地融入现代生活的新模式中来。

The work aims to explore the influence of information needs,physical changes and shift of life focus on APP design in the modern elderly life.Through Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory,the needs of the elderly at various levels were obtained,including physiological information needs,safety information needs,emotional information needs,respected information needs,and self-fulfilling information needs.According to the changes in the physical status of the elderly,the special requirements of the elderly on APP design were explained from visual,auditory,tactile and behavioral abilities.In the reality of shift of life focus and drastic changes in modern lifestyles,the choice trend of the elderly for APP was investigated.APP planning and design that meet the life needs of the elderly fully consider the information needs,physiological changes and real life conditions of the elderly,and strive to be simple in operation,easy in function settings,clear in interface design,and linear in flow arrangements.In the APP content setting,it is necessary to not only take care of the multi-level information needs of the elderly,but also provide special APP design and development from many aspects such as life convenience,health protection,educational entertainment,etc.,to attract the elderly to actively integrate into the new mode of modern life.
