How do you deal with loneliness and isolation?
Hey everyone! I’m a UC Berkeley student working on a product that helps older folks with loneliness and isolation. I've talked to relatives who deal with this, and I'd like to get thoughts from a broader group of people.
Some things I'm curious about:
- What are the biggest pain points or struggles you've seen in yourself or friends in regards with loneliness?
- Have you ever felt that some type of chat bot has helped you feel less lonely?
- How do you handle loneliness? (digital and non digital)
- What apprehensions do you have against tech?
I'd absolutely love to hear about your ideas, experiences, or suggestions. Thank you so much!
Although not set in stone at all, my team is looking into something that is conversational-based (via voice, not text). What do you guys think of this?
