Abstract
In the era of an aging society, there are a lot of care issues that need to be addressed. In view of aging in place and the trend of preventive care, many health care industries treat the technology of Internet of Things (IoT) as a key application, and hope that caregivers and caretakers will be able to help improve both of their quality of life and health through the IoT. In the future, the new-age elderly may operate their own IoT-based care products on a self-sustaining basis. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the operation of the IoT-based care products conforms to the user experience of the new-age elderly group. This study discusses the use of an interface design model of the IoT care products pertinent to intelligent devices, and addresses the problems and feelings of the new-age elderly when they interact with the user interface.
