Abstract
To design health management products that better meet the actual needs of elderly diabetic patients and improve their quality of life. The KJ affinity diagram method was used to obtain the needs of the elderly for diabetes health management products, systematically organized and analyzed to form a list of 5 categories and 14 specific needs. With the aid of the AHP hierarchical analysis method, the weight of each indicator in the demand list was calculated. Through comprehensive weight ranking, five core functional indicators were identified: modular temperature control, integrated blood glucose injection pen, intelligent temperature control pen compartment, child supervision, and multi-level medication reminders. Based on the five core indicators, the design practice of insulin pens and insulin boxes that can be adapted and integrated was completed in accordance with the product design procedures and methods. Scientific analysis to clarify user needs and product functional characteristics can guide the design of practical, reasonable, and comprehensive health management products. The innovative design of insulin pens and insulin boxes focuses on core functions, responds to the pain points of elderly diabetic patients, provides a reference for the upgrade of similar products, promotes the development of health management products, and health security in aging societies.
