Findings : Button Problem
• Can’t see buttons clearly.• Most cell phones get good design but
useless for elderly people.• Along with scientific and technological
progress cell phone get smaller and humanization.
• For example, iphone. They get very good physical design you can’t input easily.
• Instead, old design should be more applicable.

Findings : Volume Problem
• Sometimes when the calls in, elderly people cannot hear phone ring. Even forget about the silent mode.
• For example, iPhone have mic in the lower right corner and the speaker in the lower left corner .
• In case the phone rings, the highest volume won’t be that high enough to hear.
• We think some phones for elderly people dedicated is better even though it is ugly.

Findings : New Trends of Functions
• Lots of new functions and applications in the new model.
• Elderly people only need basic functions.• Even some people do not like the 3*3 menu
and think that is very limited to use. • By questionnaire; survey said the elderly
people user use phone to: • make phone calls;• send messages;• time alarms;• receive radio broadcasting.
