As illustrated by the persona of Harry, technologies like video platforms, social media support groups, and online gaming can combat isolation and improve mood. Additionally, specialized tools like mindfulness apps, companion robots (e.g., Paro), and AI chatbots (e.g., Replika) provide emotional support and assist with complex mental health needs. However, the ethical impact of forming human-machine bonds and addressing loneliness digitally requires careful consideration alongside these beneficial applications.

摘要

People with serious illness frequently experience psychosocial distress, anxiety, and loneliness. AgeTech offers vital avenues for social connection, companionship, and emotional support. As illustrated by the persona of Harry, technologies like video platforms, social media support groups, and online gaming can combat isolation and improve mood. Additionally, specialized tools like mindfulness apps, companion robots (e.g., Paro), and AI chatbots (e.g., Replika) provide emotional support and assist with complex mental health needs. However, the ethical impact of forming human-machine bonds and addressing loneliness digitally requires careful consideration alongside these beneficial applications.
