The Effect of Information Communication Technology Interventions on Reducing Social Isolation in the Elderly: A Systematic Review

Yi-Ru Regina Chen, Peter J Schulz

Short summary

A systematic review of 25 studies (2002-2015) found that Information Communication Technology (ICT) interventions generally positively affected social support, social connectedness, and reduced social isolation in the elderly, though effects on loneliness were inconclusive and positive impacts on social connectedness/support appeared short-term (under six months).
