N2 - Increase in the elderly population over the years presents both challenges associated with their wellbeing and opportunities for growth and fulfilment. Due to a reduced functional capacity, elderly users do not achieve the required task efficiently with products currently used. Hence, there is a need to develop products which are designed considering requirements, and conditions of the elderly to aid their Activities of Daily Living (ADL). This paper reviews the works in the field of product design for the elderly with an aim of identifying the taxonomies used in the design process. The need for a general design taxonomy while designing products for the elderly is identified. A taxonomy is developed with Product, User, Interaction, and Activity as main categories and its usage is demonstrated by applying it to redesign of handwash dispenser.
