With the maturation of the mobile internet, internet products in vertically segmented fields have rapidly developed, becoming crucial tools for modern individuals to acquire knowledge and record life. In the competitive landscape of major internet companies, possessing a favorable user experience has become the key to retaining users and maintaining sustainable competitiveness. In the context of the challenge faced by the older generation in embracing smart technology, how to uncover the expectations and needs of elderly users and drive product innovation through enhanced experiences is a topic worthy of exploration. This study is rooted in the era of the internet, focusing on the elderly as the primary user group. Through user research, interaction design, user evaluation, and more, it aims to explore the long-term value of Memory Machine (MeMa) by delivering an optimal interactive experience. This effort intends to assist elderly users in efficiently and conveniently recording and sharing memories from their lives. The research outcomes have a certain reference significance and practical value for current product research catering to the elderly population.
