چکیده

As the global population ages, there is a growing need for technologies that improve the well-being and independence of older adults. This project investigates the development of a device following the principles of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) with a focus on optimizing usability for the elderly population. This approach aims to foster a sense of independence and well-being among the elderly and aligns technological advances with the diverse needs of the aging demographic. This study targeted ۶۵-۷۵ people (young and old) to investigate their perception of using a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) device. ۲۶ participants, recruited through online platforms and healthcare centers and interaction with a ۳D prototype, about various aspects of the device, including complexity, confidence with assistance, discomfort with technology-based devices, and learning time, they expressed confusion with features, concern about mistakes, clarity of instructions, anxiety, moderate perceptions of home-based medical technologies, and a preference for a simpler design.
