Human-centered design that takes into account the perceptual and cognitive characteristics of the elderly and people with disabilities.
Design that takes into account the characteristics of aging and disabilities, as well as functional decline, is becoming a major concept in 21st-century manufacturing alongside the aging of society and the rise of disability rights. Among the many design concepts such as universal design and barrier-free design, accessible design has been developed based on the concept of maximizing the number of users who can utilize products, environments, and services. Based on the principles of accessible design that Japan has led in international standard organizations like ISO, this will explain how to address the needs of the elderly and people with disabilities from a technical perspective grounded in ergonomics, including design methods and practical examples.
