Abstract

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is considered to be a common disease globally, being diagnosed in elderlies regardless of hereditary and or environmental factors. Though gadgets are more widely utilised to aid PD patients, toys can provide a more enjoyable, educational and or interactive approach in improving their user's everyday lifestyle. The current market for PD is relatively limited and can quickly bore the users physically and mentally. Hence this paper aims to recognise and propose a set of considerations to the design criteria for Parkinson's Disease toys, as well as put forth a conceptual product that encompasses and analyses the findings.
