Abstract
The elderly is someone who has entered the age of 60 years who can-t feel the development of technology because the elderly experiencing in the digital immigrant. Besides, the elderly also have problems in managing their daily activities. Based on the results of the literature studies conducted, there is a problem when the elderly use the scheduling activities applications which are designed for the public. Other applications are also quite difficult to understand by the elderly. This causes recurring problems in the user interface design that is designed so the User Interface Design (UID) Pattern is required according to the needs and characteristics of the elderly to deal with these recurring problems. To do this research, the steps are collecting previous design solutions, user research, creating new design solutions, and testing design solutions. The results of this study are a UID pattern that will be used as a preliminary guide for designing UI of scheduling activity applications for the elderly and scheduling activity prototype for the elderly. The prototype will be tested using a usability measurement that is the USE Questionnaire. Therefore, it is generated UID Pattern scheduling activity application for the elderly that can help achieve the objectives in carrying out their activities.
