Movement for elderly people are becoming a challenge. Several studies have reported the need of walking sticks for elderly people to walk efficiently. The main objective of this study is to design and develop a smart walking stick to detect freefall, provide feeling of connectedness with their acquaintance, health monitoring, provide ease of use. Furthermore, this device can provide a better user experience to elderly people through technology and the ergonomically designed walking stick helps in reducing the pain on wrist and palm. A total of 30 participant’s data (Mean age = 65.5 years, SD = 3.5) was collected using semi-structured interviews, surveys and contextual inquiry. It was found that traditional walking sticks does not provide comfort, alerts for risky terrains, health related status, and connected with their acquaintances. In addition, the existing designs of walking sticks affects the participant’s wrist and palm (hand) due to 30 min of continuous use. Therefore, this study proposes a new design of walking stick for elderly people from the perspective of ergonomics, technology, and user experience.
