Optimization of a Technical Application for Elderly Individuals with Hearing Impairment (English)
Abstract [sv]

Hörselnedsättning är ett utbrett problem bland äldre, vilket kan leda till minskadlivskvalitet och social isolering. Den ökande digitaliseringen medför både möjligheteroch utmaningar, särskilt när det gäller användningen av mobiltelefoner. Dettaexamensarbete undersöker en teknisk applikation som syftar till att underlätta föräldre personer med hörselnedsättning att hitta sin telefon när den ringer. Genomen omfattande undersökning och analys identifierades de funktioner och egenskapersom är viktiga för att göra applikationen användarvänlig och effektiv. Resultatenvisar att en kombination av visuella och auditiva signaler, enkel hantering ochanpassningsbara funktioner är avgörande för att möta behoven hos målgruppen.Applikationen strävar efter att öka självständigheten och förbättra livskvaliteten föräldre med hörselnedsättning.

Abstract [en]

Hearing impairment is a widespread issue among the elderly, leading to reduced quality of life and social isolation. The increasing digitalization offers both opportunitiesand challenges, particularly in the use of mobile phones. This thesis investigates a technical application aimed at assisting elderly individuals with hearing impairment inlocating their phones when they ring. Through extensive research and analysis, theessential features and characteristics that make the application user-friendly and effective were identified. The results indicate that a combination of visual and auditorysignals, ease of use, and customizable functions are crucial to meeting the needs of thetarget group. The application aims to enhance independence and improve the qualityof life for elderly individuals with hearing impairment.
