Abstract

Most technology designs are oriented to the younger population with a lack of attention from an elderly perspective. This paper aims to gather user needs and requirements from the elderly and propose a user-friendly interface for a Virtual Integrated Therapy for Active Living (VITAL)-Health Box for the elderly population. Utilising usability evaluation method, a focus group discussion was conducted with 10 participants to gather user needs and preferences about user interface design for VITAL Health Box. Participants were asked questions relating to content, preference and needs based on a discussion guide. A set of improved parameters and user interface was proposed. Major consideration aspects are UI design and functionalities with optimisation for elderly people, such as providing clear and simple instruction information, giving multi-language choices, displaying text and suitable graphic or icon to reduce the confusion or frustration to the elderly users. The findings of this research provide insight for designing an elderly-friendly user interface.
