dc.description.abstractAfter evaluating the eldercare product environment through use of observation and empathy exercises, I identify a trend of neglect towards aesthetic and its role in the formation of identity on the part of the product and the user. By analyzing cases where medical designs defy this trend, I determine what design strategies were used. Through the process of redesign and application of relevant design strategies, I then explore how eldercare products might better serve a broader range of human needs. Finally, I address the role of the industrial designer in the cultivation of change and accountability.en_US
