AB - Increasing life expectancy and the rapid shift toward an aging society have made chronic disease management among older adults a critical social issue. This study aimed to enhance the accessibility and usability of digital healthcare applications by designing user experiences (UX) tailored to the physical, cognitive, and perceptual characteristics of older adult users. The analysis of existing applications identified key improvements, including simplified login, larger icons and text, intuitive interfaces, personalized notifications, and voice support. Reward systems and family engagement features are vital for promoting sustained usage. These find ings provide practical guidelines for designing older-adult-friendly digital healthcare applications that enable the self-management of chronic conditions and support healthy aging. Many previous studies lack com prehensive discussions of UX design principles that integrate the physical, cognitive, and perceptual characteristics of older adults. Although there is ongoing research on reward systems, user-friendly interfaces, and data visualization tools to encourage the continued use of digital healthcare applications, holistic design guidelines specifically tailored for older adults remain insufficient. This study addresses these gaps in the literature.
This study contributes to improving the quality of life of older adult users and reducing societal healthcare costs by fostering a more inclusive digital healthcare environment.
