About

Weiqi Guo is a design researcher whose work lies at the intersection of product design, healthy aging, and human-centered innovation. Their key research area focuses on developing evaluation methods for companion products that support the well-being and independence of older adults. Guo’s most cited paper, “An evaluation method for product design solutions for healthy aging companionship” (2022, 18 citations), addresses the growing need for intelligent, user-friendly solutions in an era of aging populations and digital integration. By proposing a systematic framework to assess product designs, Guo helps bridge the gap between user needs—such as convenience, informatization, and emotional companionship—and practical design outcomes. This work is particularly notable for its emphasis on healthy aging as a holistic concept, moving beyond mere functionality to consider social and psychological dimensions. Though early in their career, Guo’s contributions are already shaping how designers approach aging-related challenges, offering a replicable methodology that can guide future innovations in assistive and companion technologies. Their research stands as a valuable resource for students and practitioners seeking to create meaningful, evidence-based designs for an increasingly older demographic.
