Design for the Loneliness Epidemic

Using the Surgeon General's advisory on "The Loneliness Epidemic," our team aimed to gain insights on how healthcare providers, volunteers, and government entities experience and attempt to identify, mitigate, and implement solutions to improve the experience of social disconnection for seniors. Made in collaboration with a board of subject matter experts including physicians and designers from organizations such as Oak Street Health and CVS Health.
Learning Outcomes:
Our final prototype was an enterprise software solution and updated doctor workflow, advocating for doctors to incorporate the use of loneliness screening methods, social prescription, community resource network, and care managers. Notably, one the research tools we developed caught the attention of one of our subject matter experts, who asked permission from us to use it in her doctorate thesis.
