In this article, we will introduce in detail how vSeeBox brings a better and more convenient living experience to the elderly through design elements such as intuitive interface, visual audio optimization, and ergonomic remote control.

Population ageing and its impact on technology

Globally, population aging is becoming an increasingly significant trend. The proportion of the elderly population continues to rise, a phenomenon that is particularly pronounced in the United States. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, one-fifth of U.S. residents will be 65 or older by 2030, and the elderly population is projected to comprise nearly 24 percent of the total population by 2060. This demographic shift not only has far-reaching implications for all aspects of society, but also presents new challenges and requirements for the design and application of technology.

As the elderly population increases, their roles and needs in society are gradually changing. Older people are no longer just elders in their families; they are also active participants in society, eager to stay in touch with the outside world, obtain information and enjoy entertainment. However, traditional technology design often ignores the special needs of older people, resulting in many difficulties they face when using smart devices. Many older people are confused and frustrated when faced with complex interfaces and operating procedures, which not only affects their quality of life but also limits their opportunities to participate in social activities.

Therefore, it is particularly important to develop technology products that are suitable for older people. These products not only need to fulfill the basic needs of the elderly, such as keeping in touch with friends and relatives, accessing information and enjoying entertainment, but also need to take into account their physical and cognitive characteristics, such as declining vision, hearing and dexterity. By designing smart devices that are more user-friendly and easy to use, we can help older people better integrate into the digital age and enjoy the convenience and fun that technology brings.

Why Age-Friendly Technology is Crucial

First of all, when the elderly use smart devices, they often face the problem of complex interface and cumbersome operation. The interface design of many devices is too complicated and full of various functions and options, making it difficult for the elderly to find the functions they need. In addition, the operating procedures of some devices are not intuitive enough, requiring multiple confirmations and settings, which makes older people feel confused and frustrated when using them. For example, some smart TVs have many complicated buttons on the remote control, which older people often do not know how to use, resulting in their inability to watch TV programs smoothly.

Second, the physiological characteristics of older adults also pose challenges to the use of technology. As they age, older people's eyesight and hearing gradually decline, which makes them face more difficulties in using smart devices. For example, some devices have fonts that are too small, making it difficult for older people to read what is on the screen, while the volume of some devices is too low, making it impossible for older people to hear conversations and sound effects. Additionally, older adults may have reduced manual dexterity, which makes it difficult for them to operate touchscreen devices.

Finally, rapid technological advances also make older people feel excluded and isolated. While many younger people are able to master new technologies with ease, older people are often left on the fringes of technology. This technological gap not only affects the quality of life of older persons, but also contributes to their feeling of isolation in terms of socialization and access to information.

Therefore, it is particularly important to develop technology products that are suitable for older persons. These products not only need to meet the basic needs of the elderly, but also need to take into account their physiological and cognitive characteristics and provide more humanized and easy-to-use interfaces and operating procedures. By designing smart devices suitable for the elderly, we can help them better integrate into the digital age and enjoy the convenience and fun brought by technology.

Understanding the needs of older people in the digital age

Key Challenges Facing Older Adults

• Cognitive and mental health considerations

Age-related cognitive changes also have an impact on older adults' use of smart devices. Slower reaction times are one of the common cognitive changes in older adults. When using smart devices, older adults often need more time to process information and react, which makes them struggle with complex operational processes. For example, some smart devices have more complex interface designs, and older adults need to spend more time to understand the purpose of each function, which increases their learning costs.

Memory loss is also one of the cognitive challenges faced by older adults. When using smart devices, older people often have difficulty remembering complex operating steps and passwords, which makes them frequently encounter obstacles during use. For example, some older adults have difficulty remembering login passwords when using online banking or shopping apps, which prevents them from successfully completing the operation.

These cognitive changes may lead to anxiety and frustration among older adults when using new technologies. They may become frustrated with their inability to operate the device successfully, which in turn may affect their mental health. Chronic frustration and anxiety may lead older adults to develop a fear of and resistance to new technologies, further exacerbating their sense of isolation in the digital age.

• The emotional impact of the technology gap

Many technologies designed for younger generations tend to ignore the needs of older people, which makes them feel excluded when using them. This technology gap not only affects the quality of life of older persons, but can also lead to feelings of isolation in terms of socialization and access to information. For example, many social apps and online services used by younger people are excluded by older people due to their inability to use them, which makes them feel isolated in their social activities.

Older people may feel frustrated by their inability to use new technologies, and the emotional impact of this not only affects their mental health, but can also lead to feelings of alienation from society. Prolonged feelings of isolation and frustration may lead older persons to become dissatisfied and complain about society, affecting their quality of life.
