"As the global population ages, the need for inclusive design becomes increasingly critical. By rethinking user experiences for the geriatric community, we can help address issues such as social isolation, healthcare accessibility, and fatalities. Around 32,000 older adults only in the United States die annually from fall-related injuries.
Older adults also often face physical, cognitive, and sensory changes that can impact their interaction with products and services. These changes include reduced mobility, vision and hearing impairments, and cognitive decline.
By understanding these challenges, we can create solutions centered around with accessibility, usability and empathy that are not only functional but also empowering."
