Starting from the background of population aging, this study explores how designers think about the design ethical challenges brought by technological development when designing services for the elderly. Through in-depth discussion and analysis of the user behavior, operational needs, and technical accessibility of the elderly, the study summarizes the ethical issues in the design of services for the elderly, and ultimately summarizes three principles of design ethics for sleep care services for the elderly, i.e., focusing on individual differences and diversity, ensuring product safety and accessibility, and perceptual ease of use from the perspective of aging. The design practice is also based on this foundation, proposing design ethics combined with technological development for the design of elderly service systems, and calling for further research and interdisciplinary cooperation to promote better fulfillment of the needs of the elderly.
