Abstract

The provision of elder care services in nursing homes faces challenges in meeting older adults' diverse and evolving needs. With technological advancements, integrating smart terminal systems offers promising solutions to enhance service delivery and user experience. This paper proposes design strategies for smart terminal systems in nursing homes, informed by user, service, social, and device contexts, to improve personalized care and overall quality of life for older adults. A comprehensive review of literature and analysis of existing technologies in elder care informed the development of design strategies. The study focused on integrating user-centered design principles and context-aware systems to tailor services to individual needs and environmental factors. Design strategies were categorized into user, service, social, and device contexts. These included personalized service models based on health profiles, adaptive service delivery using wearable devices, and fostering social engagement through community-oriented care models. The findings underscore the importance of tailored care approaches that consider the unique needs of older adults in nursing homes. Smart technology integration enhances operational efficiency and improves user satisfaction and safety through proactive monitoring and responsive service delivery. By implementing the proposed design strategies, nursing homes can effectively address the complexities of elder care, promoting independence, social integration, and emotional well-being among older adults.
