The country is entering the aging stage, the proportion of the elderly population is growing. As such a special group of people, the elderly need more care, but this crowd blindly specialization, excessive care but also allow them to discrimination in the psychological sense, and thus the product design is also needed in the ease of use for the general public service at the same time, taking into account the special needs of the elderly.Currently, only consider the special group made accessible design market, but gradually the new design concept has been extended, universal design is too idealistic the Inclusive Design mentioned in this article is considered a continuous improvement of the actual process of the design concept of the new trend, it does not mean the design of a product will be able to meet the needs of all populations, it is in the process of design of the general public products, designers must consider some special social special needs groups (such as the disabled, the elderly, the sick and wounded, children and other groups), but the design should also apply to the mainstream market with a certain social inclusiveness and useful role in the design.
