jaeyeon choi – Senior Chat

Due to the nuclear family, industrialization and population concentration in large cities, a number of single-person household is rapidly increasing. At the same time, a number of dying alone is also increasing. This is because a lot of senior citizens tends not to depend on their children or share their thoughts with them, ending up dying alone. In order to prevent them from dying alone, I designed a product to comfort each other’s loneliness by giving or taking an anonymous letter to arouse sociality

Living in a rapidly changing digital age, we must accept new information, knowledge, change and demands that are immeasurable throughout the day.

However, the gap with the digital underprivileged is growing as much as the change. For the elderly who lived in the analog era, our society has a systematic limit to the system for them.

 

Modern devices, for example, have a lot of buttons, excessive skills and features that are already prone to aversion to the elderly. Intuitive and realistic commercial operation is required with the necessary control panels.

 

As a result, As if you pull the line attached to the school bell and get some information, you can pull out the line and let the letter appear. It is designed to be easy to use by the people of old times with motif of school bell.
