With the acceleration of the global aging trend, the proportion of elderly people is increasing year by year, and their demand for mobile applications is also growing day by day. However, existing mobile application interface designs are often based on young user groups, ignoring the physiological, psychological, and behavioral characteristics of elderly users, resulting in many inconveniences for elderly users when using mobile applications. By analyzing the characteristics of an aging society and targeting the elderly user group, interface design elements are analyzed. Design strategies for simple and intuitive application interfaces, speech recognition technology application, and enhanced text recognition are proposed, and specific implementation methods are provided. The implementation of these strategies will help improve the user experience of elderly users and promote their integration into the digital society. To explore effective strategies for mobile application interface design in the context of an aging society, in order to improve the user experience of elderly users and promote their integration into the digital society.
