This week we also have classes online. Tarun, Sreejith and Brian spoke about the design for elderly.
Brian talked about the fact that the longest-lived people in the world, and how the life expectancy of humans as a whole has changed. He pointed out popular voice assistants, such as Google Assistant and Alex, to help the elderly. There have been many discussions about dementia and the personality of the elderly.
Next, Tarun aimed at wearables and smart devices in space. He cited examples of health trackers and devices that help the elderly maintain balance. Finally, Sreejith and he pointed out techniques for the elderly. He aimed at a walking stick that tracked the movement and had a built-in sensor.
Workshop
I have Mary, Chidi and Josephine in group 2. Our workshop's task is to redesign Johnson's house. He is 65 years old, a retired English teacher. We based on the records of his daily movements provided by the materials. We made the following designs for him 1. Inlay the mailbox on the wall or door. There is a basket in the room to hold the letters, and there is no need to bend down, and the letters will not be wet. 2. In order to reduce the frequency of his going up and down the stairs, we moved the bedroom to the ground floor. In the bedroom, we designed lighting effects corresponding to different time periods to remind him of the time. 3. We also used smart mirrors and Alexis speakers to help him get news and remind him to take medicine.
