Abstract
Society needs to pay more attention to the MCI group, and theoretical research from product design to production practice is also poor. The difficulty of assistive cognitive impairment products in the market could be better for people with cognitive impairment. There still needs to be a gap in hand movement products for older people. Due to the complexity of cognitive impairment rehabilitation, cognitive impairment has irreversible characteristics in current mental training and treatment processes. Cognitive training in the early morning can slow down the deterioration of the condition and delay phenomena such as memory decline. Therefore, the final product output of this article combines theoretical research on cognitive training needs to investigate existing hand movement products for older adults with mild cognitive impairment; based on the user characteristics of older people, a balanced analysis of the theoretical, market, and user factors conducted to design and study a hand movement product. This product uses pressing to stimulate the relevant acupoints of the hand, combined with repeated voice prompts and other methods, to help older people with MCI prevent and slow down memory decline and, to some extent, to prevent and delay the occurrence and development of mild cognitive impairment.
