Proposal for a Design procedure for the ergonomic adaptation of user interfaces for older adults
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
The technological development through user interfaces offers medical diagnostic devices and systematic self-monitoring of health at home to prolong the quality of life of the older Cuban adult who represents 22.3% of the population. These interfaces optimize operational efficiency, meet expectations, and promote inclusivity and independence as they adapt to the capabilities and limitations derived from the aging process. The objective of this work is to show how design can contribute procedures for the development of ergonomic studies that will allow the detection of cognitive regularities that could be incorporated into the design process through quantitative specifications.
