Abstract

The mobile phone design currently is always lack of concern towards the usability of the elderly. The elderly always having problem in understanding and using the mobile phone cause by this lack of study in understanding the needs of the older people. This paper provides the information related with the concept and issues related with the mobile phone design. The other topic in this paper is the application that suitable to be design in the mobile phone for the elderly. The function that need by this elderly is limited compare to the younger people. The elderly needs the mobile phones that have the design that suitable with their needs without concerning about the fashion or styles.
