Abstract:

This study addresses the challenges of the ageing population, focusing on enhancing the life of caregivers and the elderly. It proposes a multifaceted solution that allows dependents to live close to their carers, enabling oversight without a need for constant presence. The paper employs empirical studies to ensure a deep understanding of caregiving, capturing the breadth and depth of challenges. Presenting a novel design solution, Hygge, combines physical and system design with technology integration. This prioritises accessibility, cost, maintenance, and adaptability for diverse needs.
