Abstract
According to data from the Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Diabetes in the Elderly, there are approximately 35.5 million elderly diabetic patients over the age of 65 in China, accounting for 1/4 of the total number of elderly diabetic patients worldwide, and this number is still on the rise. This article analyzes and studies the wearable glucose meters for the elderly from the characteristics and lifestyle features of elderly diabetic patients, starting from the perspective of user experience and combining with the Positive Experience Design theory. The design strategies for elderly wearable glucose meters based on the Positive Experience Design theory are concluded, aiming to enhance the blood sugar control experience of the elderly and promote their active participation in blood sugar management, in order to improve the diabetes management experience and health status of the elderly.
