Abstract:

Based on the current research status of smart wearable products and user requirements, a survey was conducted to investigate the user demands for intelligent heated clothing for the elderly. The survey was conducted from various aspects, including user characteristics, physiological needs, functional design, and consumer demands, aiming to determine the demand positioning of intelligent heated clothing for the elderly. On this basis, a discussion was initiated on the design patterns for intelligent heated clothing tailored to the elderly. Utilizing interaction design methods, a comprehensive approach was proposed to design a set of methods for the development of elderly-friendly intelligent heated clothing products that not only cater to the multifaceted needs of the elderly but also have promising market applications.

Key words: elderly-friendly, intelligent clothing, interaction design, demand survey, pro-duct design
