A person’s quality of life is very much influenced by the presence of stable and rewarding interpersonal relationships.

On the other hand, when there is a lack of social relations and connections, people experience social isolation and can therefore experience loneliness.
This situation is often frequent and widespread among the weaker members of the society.

App’s Name:
Del+Del-

Target:
Young people under 30 with disabilities and seniors over 60.

Idea and Objective:
The objective is to decrease the state of loneliness in these two groups of the population, to increase their level of psychological well-being, promoting digital opportunities for the vulnerable.

Users can interact in an easily accessible and safe environment where a group of mental health professionals supervise and facilitate interactions.

The innovativeness of the system lies in its mode of use, which provides maximum
ease of use and minimization of errors by the elderly person not accustomed to technologies; and use of the video call allows the synchronous connection of the two users.

A third user (psychologist, expert supervisor) can enter the conversation room to interact with the subjects or to supervise the conversation in a hidden mode.
