  Technology for Seniors Older people are prone to loneliness and isolation.  According to the Campaign to End Loneliness, half a million older people go at least five or six days a week without seeing or speaking to anyone, over half are aged 85 and over, and 38% of those aged 75 to 84 live alone.  Age UK estimates there are 1.4m chronically lonely older people in England.  Technology can be part of the solution, connecting people at a distance and providing access to essential services online. During Covid-19, many organizations distributed tablets and other devices to older populations to help them stay in touch. There are many devices, designed, and for, older people. Others, while not explicitly designed for this population, are well-suited to it. Our factsheet rounds up some of the options. Last updated: February 2021 Contents include 1.
