Hot Spots and Trends Analysis of Elderly-Oriented Interface Design

This study aims to analyse the hot spots and trends of elderly-oriented interface design, use Web of Science Core Collection data as a sample and apply the scientific bibliometric method to visualize the documents publications, countries, research institutions, authors, keyword clusters, reference co-citation status to generate a map of scientific knowledge by VOSviewer and CiteSpace, the analysis and discussion are also combined with relevant parameters. The overall number of documents within the search range are on the rise, but the cooperation between research institutions and authors is not close enough. Research hotspots are mainly focused on usability, user experience, human-machine interface, human-computer interaction, quality-of-life, performance, healthcare, system, etc. The future hotspots and trends of elderly-oriented interface design will consist of physical-activity, health, management, etc. This study offers researchers a comprehensive understanding of elderly-oriented interface design studies in the last decades and research directions for the future.
