Design of Music Physiotherapy Products for Alzheimer's Disease Based on Kansei Engineering and the Kano Model

Abstract

With the accelerating aging of the population, China has become the country with the largest number of Alzheimer's disease patients in the world, which will undoubtedly bring a heavy burden to the patients, caregivers, and the whole society. The purpose of this study is to design a music physiotherapy product for Alzheimer's disease patients by combining Kansei engineering and the the Kano model, to improve the quality of life of the patients. Firstly, the the Kano model is used to analyze the functional needs of Alzheimer's disease patients to improve the overall satisfaction of the products, secondly, the theoretical framework of Kansei engineering is used to analyze the perception of Alzheimer's disease patients on the appearance of the music physiotherapy products, and the results are statistically analyzed to obtain effective quantitative data, and finally, the design elements are extracted and the design of the Alzheimer's disease music physiotherapy products is carried out. Through the study, it is found that the comprehensive consideration of Kansei engineering and the the Kano model can effectively guide the design of music physiotherapy products for Alzheimer's disease to further satisfy the special needs of patients, and provide certain reference value for designers and researchers.
