Abstract

With the advent of an ultra-aging society, there is a trend among the elderly to emphasize accessibility to product safety and nutritional information through smart packaging technology. Consequently, research in design related to this aspect has become increasingly important. This study aims to contribute to the direction of design research for the healthy aging of the elderly through an analysis of trends in smart packaging design research. Firstly, a systematic literature review was conducted, collecting and filtering textual data such as titles, keywords, abstracts, and publication years of documents selected with the search terms 'food' AND 'packaging design' OR 'elderly' OR ‘Aging Population’ from 2000 to 2023. Secondly, analysis results were derived through meta-analysis and text mining. Thirdly, conclusions and implications were proposed based on the analyzed results. The comprehensive findings of this study indicate that nanotechnology-based food packaging design is a key research area and keyword, serving as foundational material for shaping the themes and directions of smart packaging design.
