Reduce Loneliness in the Elderly Community

Problem

More than 8 million adults age 50+ are affected by isolation.  For devices that are aimed at addressing this issue, the user interface is difficult for end users and there is a lack of awareness of available technologies to help reduce isolation, so they do not reach populations that need them.

Task

Create a solution to reduce feelings of isolation in the elderly community. For devices that are currently aimed at addressing this issue, the user interface is difficult for end users and there is a lack of awareness of available technologies to help reduce isolation, so they do not get to the populations that need them
