Mexican Elders and their needs

For this design research we focus on mexicans elders and their needs in order to create some design strategies, firstable we start to search everything about  tthe main diseases that mexicans people presents, the SABE 2001 tell us that there are a relation between the diseases and the disabilities. 

SABE 2001


Hight Blood Pressure or Hypertension is one of this patologies that evoque the generation of some kind of disabilitie.




The ENSAEM 2001 ( National Survey of Aging in Mexico) show us that

12.2 of 100 persons that live in the country have problems to prepare their meals also this problem is presente in the life of 9 of 100 persons that live in the city.




There are a lot of activities that a human does, because of that the experts have been divided this activities in Intrumental activities and Daily life activities.




Instrumental Activities:


To prepare meals

Shopping

To take their medicine

To handling money




Daily Life Activities


To walk

Take a Shower

To eat

Go to the bed





As an observers we can see that there are to many products focus on walking and bathing activities, sadly this products are to expensive and inaccessible for the most of the mexican population, so do are some architectural proyects.


There are to many products that are focused on helping the elderly to prepare their meals, some of this products are presented right here:




Mixers






Maybe this examples are gerontodesign products, maybe…. but there is a little fact call emotional design that in some of them is missing….maybe
