随着我国老龄化程度的不断加剧,老龄人口的空巢化现象也变得日趋严重。目前只满足生理需求的助行产品已经远达不到空巢老人的期望,应更进一步改善现有助行产品对空巢老人情感需求关注不足的缺陷,时刻体现“以人为本”的关爱情怀。文章从唐纳德·诺曼的情感化设计理念出发,通过对空巢老人的特征和情感需求进行分析,并了解老年人助行产品类别,找出目前老年人助行产品存在的问题;最后总结出针对空巢老人的助行产品情感化设计思路。通过文章的研究,为情感化设计在老年人助行产品设计进行应用起到借鉴作用,给予空巢老人身心关怀。

With the increasing of aging in China,the empty-nest phenomenon of aging population has become more and more serious.At present,the walking aid products that only meet the physiological needs have far failed to meet the expectations of empty nesters,and the defects of the existing walking aid products that pay insufficient attention to the emotional needs of empty nests should be further improved,and the“people-oriented”caring feelings should be reflected at all times.Based on Donald Norman's concept of emotional design,this paper analyzes the characteristics and emotional needs of empty-nesters,and finds out the existing problems of mobility products for the elderly.Finally,the paper summarizes the emotional design of the walking aid products for the empty-nesters.Through the research of this paper,it can play a reference role for the application of emotional design in the design of mobility assistance products for the elderly,and give physical and mental care to the empty-nesters.
