Age-appropriate design of smart senior care product APP interface based on deep learning
Abstract
With the aging of the population, the quality of life and happiness of the elderly are increasingly becoming concerns of society. Smart senior care (SSC) products are an important tool to improve the quality of life of the elderly, and their application has been widely discussed. However, due to differences in cognitive characteristics and habits of the elderly, they may face difficulties when using smart products. Therefore, how to design a suitable SSC product APP interface for the elderly has become an urgent problem to be solved. The rapid development of deep learning (DL) provides a new way to deal with this problem. This paper aims to optimize the APP interface design of SSC products suitable for the elderly by using DL technology. Specifically, this paper designs a model based on a deep-Q-network (DQN) algorithm, which can better adapt to the usage habits and needs of the elderly through training and optimization. At the same time, the proposed model is evaluated comprehensively to verify its performance and superiority. To achieve the above goals, this paper first summarizes the existing SSC technology and the design suitable for the elderly. On this basis, a model based on the DQN algorithm is designed, and four datasets are used for training and testing. In the design of the model, this paper pays special attention to how to make the interface more friendly and easy to operate to meet the specific demands and preferences of the elderly. After a comprehensive evaluation, it is found that the proposed DQN algorithm model has achieved remarkable improvement in performance. This model has an average return of about 8.8 and 3.9 compared to other models, which have an average return of about 0.9 and 0.2, respectively. This shows that the model designed in this paper performs well in terms of accuracy and average return and performs better than other algorithms. The results of this paper reveal that optimizing the age-appropriate design of the SSC product APP interface through DL technology can notably enhance the user experience and satisfaction of the elderly. This not only helps the elderly to make better use of smart products and improve their quality of life but also provides useful inspiration and guidance for research and practice in related fields.
