Abstract

With the progress of society, the problem of sleep difficulties in the elderly has become the focus of attention in the market. This study explores the application of emotional design theory in the development of smart pillows for the elderly, aiming to enhance the user emotional experience of existing products. A comprehensive analysis of the current design of smart pillows is carried out to find out the shortcomings of products based on the principle of emotional design. From the emotional theory to the instinct layer, behavior layer and reflection layer, the function optimization and product prototype design of smart pillows for the elderly are carried out. Based on the research results, a smart pillow for the elderly is designed and the future development direction of smart pillow technology is proposed. Emphasizing the importance of enhancing the emotional experience of older users, this study contributes to advances in smart technology and improvements in the design of sleep products for the elderly.
