WORKS  /  PERSONA 01 — MOBILITY DECLINE

Mrs. Ying’s Home,
Rebuilt for Moving Safely.

AGE 72 LIVES ALONE MOBILITY LEVEL 2 USES A CANE

Reduced muscle strength in the lower limbs. Occasional balance loss, especially when
turning. Rising from a seat is hard without support, and walking more than five minutes
brings fatigue. She is independent-minded, set in her routines, and does not want help.

What Changed in the Room

MNEMO ROBOT

The robot guides her around the room, carries small
things, and keeps her company.

SOFA WHEELCHAIR

When she approaches the sofa, the wheelchair docks
and becomes part of the seating.

CONTINUOUS FURNITURE

Furniture edges line up into one continuous support
surface she can lean on while moving.

LAYOUT SCORE (FULL = 10)
weighted: connectivity 50% · daylight 24% ·

every furniture gap is at least 0.9 m

WHY THESE WEIGHTS

The four universal metrics stay the same across every home, but their weights are re-tuned per
person. For mobility loss, connectivity carries half the score: safe, continuous circulation is the
whole point. The layout only counts if every furniture gap is at least 0.9 m. Below that, the room
leaves no minimum corridor for a cane or a turn, so the score drops to zero.

Built on the three mobility rules from Research: furniture standards, clear circulation, handrail generation.
