Scenario
[Placeholder]“One of the greatest challenges or losses that we face as older adults, frankly, is not about our health, but it’s actually about our social network deteriorating on us, because our friends get sick, our spouse passes away, friends pass away, or we move,” - Joseph F. Coughlin, director of the AgeLab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
- Members of the elderly community, who suffer from a diminishing social circle, would like to participate and contribute to society and connect with others
- Technology for connecting seniors is too cryptic to use and not designed to meet their needs
