Abstract

World median age population growth during the last decades brought with it an improvement of the relationship between Design Research and older users. The balance between users’ requirements and Human-Centered Design (HCD) strategies to satisfy them has been destabilized by the COVID-19 pandemic. Human-Centered Design smart clothing is becoming an essential tool for Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) of elderly users improving their life quality, lifestyle, and health. These devices allow the monitoring of the person’s daily habits, health status, and well-being in a non-intrusive way, enhancing autonomy and independence. By 2030, aging will affect more and more the human being of the smart society. Future perspective needs to be addressed to empowering AAL where HCD smart clothing will become an essential tool for protecting senior citizens.
