Research Progress on the Applicaion of Human Factors Ergonomics in Intelligent Care for the Elderly

Abstract

With the increasing aging situation, how to successfully carry out intelligent care for the elderlyhas become an important issue, and ergonomics brings effective guarantee and new opportunities for intelligent care for the elderly. Based on the concept of ergonomics, this paper summarizes the current research status and application progress of ergonomics in the field of intelligent care for the elderly. By considering the unique cognitive, perceptual, physical function and motivational characteristics of the elderly, ergonomics makes the design of intelligent care products closer to the needs of the elderly and creates a more comfortable and convenient intelligent care environment. In the future, based on the optimization and innovation of hardware and software facilities of intelligent care through ergonomics, researchers should pay more attention to the universality and rigor of design, and integrate the characteristics of ergonomics, in order to provide high safety, convenient, and modernizedintelligentcare for the elderly.
