“…In view of these characteristics, the steps in the use process should be simplified as much as possible to reduce the cognitive burden of older users, so that they can easily use the system; in the necessary information layered design, different colors are used to distinguish functional modules, and color systems with medium brightness and high brightness contrast are used; at the same time, for the fluency of the product, it needs to comprehensively consider finger operation, user thinking and page conversion to ensure smooth connection during operation; the combination of simple one-finger gestures (such as click and drag) with compatible user interface elements (such as buttons and scales) is more helpful for the learning, memory and execution of the system ( 64 ). The older individuals have significantly higher subjective preferences for specific type icons (i.e., skeuomorphic) than abstract type icons (i.e., flattened) ( 65 ), so when patients input information, it should minimize text input and improve voice input functions; when patients are searching for conditions for chronic disease management, it should provide relevant treatment experience sharing and relevant physical icons and data of the disease. At the same time, emergency medical consultation options or shortcuts should be set up, such as shortcut keys to alarm for help, voice for help, etc., to meet the consultation and rescue needs of some accidental injuries and sudden disease conditions.…”

BackgroundAlthough older adults health management systems have been shown to have a significant impact on health levels, there remains the problem of low use rate, frequency of use, and acceptance by the older adults. This study aims to explore the significant factors which serve as determinants of behavioral intention to use the technology, which in turn promotes actual use.MethodsThis study took a total of 402 urban older adults over 60 years to explore the impact of the use behavior toward remote health management (RHM) through an online questionnaire. Based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), the author adds four dimensions: perceived risk, perceived value, perceived interactivity and individual innovation, constructed an extended structural equation model of acceptance and use of technology, and analyzed the variable path relationship.ResultsIn this study, the factor loading is between 0.61 and 0.98; the overall Cronbach's Alpha coefficients are >0.7; The composite reliability ranges from 0.59 to 0.91; the average variance extraction ranges from 0.51 to 0.85, which shows the good reliability, validity, and discriminant validity of the constructed model. The influencing factors of the behavioral intention of the older adults to accept the health management system are: effort expectation, social influences, perceived value, performance expectation, perceived interactivity and perceived risk. Effort expectation has a significant positive impact on performance expectation. Individual innovation positively impacts performance expectation and perceived interactivity. Perceived interactivity and behavioral intention have a significant positive effect on the use behavior of the older adults, while the facilitating conditions have little effect on the use behavior.ConclusionsThis paper constructs and verifies the extended model based on UTAUT, fully explores the potential factors affecting the use intention of the older adult users. According to the research findings, some suggestions are proposed from the aspects of effort expectation, performance expectation, perceived interaction and perceived value to improve the use intention and user experience of Internet-based health management services in older adults.

“…Despite the critical role icons play in guiding users, providing instructions, and facilitating task completion [2], previous icon designs have often neglected the needs of visually impaired users. This oversight has led to diminished cognitive effectiveness, disrupted workflows, and potential malfunctions [3][4][5]. A clear and concise icon is imperative for ensuring users accurately interpret its meaning and intended function [6].…”

Icons are integral to the signature systems within architectural spaces, serving pivotal roles through human–environment interactions. However, previous icon designs often exhibited a considerable randomness and neglected the needs of visually impaired individuals. To address these issues and to overcome the limitations of the computer-aided design methods, such as most of them focusing only on text design which are not compatible with icons, this study presents an intelligent assistance method named “Universal Colour” for icon colour design based on universal design principles. Such a system enables the rapid generation of icon colour schemes and supports visual and quantitative filtering and comparison during the decision-making process for colour scheme optimization. To assess its usability, fifty-two participants conducted icon colour design experiments using this system, resulting in 87% of the design schemes meeting the universality requirements. The results have demonstrated that Universal Colour has the potential to significantly enhance efficiency and cognitive aspects within the decision-making process for users, regardless of their proficiency in icon design, thereby facilitating the generation of universal icon colour schemes in architectural design.
