Boomers in their 60s and 70s reject the label of being old and expect to continue living full, active lives that include travel, learning, and social engagement. Technology serves as a bridge to family, friends, and community and is commonly used for communication and research. Boomers value sophisticated, human-centered design and resent simplistic or condescending interfaces. Wellness is a long-term priority focused on prolonging vitality through products and services that support healthier, more fulfilling lives. Boomers are open to innovations like pill-dispensing robots and telehealth when those innovations respect autonomy, social connection, and intuitive use.
Boomers, who are now in their 60s and 70s, do not consider themselves "old." They do not consider aging to be a gradual decline. Rather, they anticipate continuing to live fully, which includes traveling, interacting with others, learning, and prospering. Understanding boomers' values, what drives them, what matters to them, and why they interact with products in the first place is essential to creating experiences that are genuinely meaningful to them.
"Technology is a bridge to family, friends, and community it is not terrifying to boomers." Whether it's asking a friend about a restaurant or thoroughly researching online reviews before making a purchase, boomers love to stay in touch and appreciate shared opinions. They have sophisticated tastes as well. They have no concerns about demanding well-thought-out experiences and thoughtful design. For designers, this means that their products should not feel simplistic or condescending, but rather human, intuitive, and socially connected.
For boomers, wellness is a way of life, not a fashion statement. They are looking for products and services that will enable them to live longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. "The goal of wellness for boomers is to prolong vitality, not to reverse decline." Boomers are open to innovations that promote their well-being, such as pill-dispensing robots and telehealth visits.
