Phone app aims to cure senior loneliness epidemic

NCT ID NCT07443813

Summary

This study is testing a smartphone app designed to help older adults feel less lonely and more socially connected. For four months, 100 participants will either get training to use the app, which helps them find local activities and connect with peers, or be placed on a waitlist. Researchers will measure changes in loneliness, social support, and overall well-being to see if the app-based program is helpful.
