Integrating Care into Design: Addressing Emotional Isolation in Interactive Products for Empty Nesters
Hubei University of Technology, Wuhan, China
The aging population, coupled with the phenomenon of empty nesters, presents a pressing challenge of emotional isolation among elderly individuals. This paper delves into the concept of integrating care into the design of interactive products to mitigate the emotional void experienced by empty nesters. It explores the emotional needs of this demographic and discusses how technology-driven interactive products can serve as a bridge to foster emotional well-being and social connectivity. Through a human-centered design approach, this research offers insights into the development of empathetic, user-centric solutions that address the emotional challenges faced by empty nesters. By prioritizing care and emotional connection in design, we aim to enhance the quality of life for this vulnerable group.
