This initiative aims to mitigate the detrimental effects of social isolation on older adults by removing technology use barriers through a 12-week training program led by graduate student coaches. By empowering older adults with advanced technology skills and providing digital devices, it improves health literacy, access to resources, social integration, and community engagement, building on a prior Health Fund investment to expand support to homebound older adults.
