to 10,000 older adults living in public housing.</p><p>This effort was conceived on an emergency basis, joining officials from multiple city agencies, executives from T-Mobile, and leaders from the nonprofit sector, who planned and implemented an emergency technology program of unprecedented scale to support low-income older adults. These technology assets were a critical resource for older New Yorkers, and they also provided a unique opportunity for learning more about the impact of such programs and what effect would they have on social engagement, symptoms of depression, or feelings of isolation.</p><p>The research shows the impact of having an internet-connected tablet and participating in technology training for older NYCHA residents. Participants in the study were more likely to:</p><ul><li><strong>Feel more connected to family and friends</strong>: 60% of participants in the study “strongly agreed” that receiving their tablet helped them to feel more connected with family members. 88% of participants who took the technology course said they felt more connected to family and friends.</li><li><strong>Feel less depressed and lonely</strong>: Nearly twice as many seniors in the control group reported feeling depressed, compared to those who took the technology course.</li></ul> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-0e0e656 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button" data-id="0e0e656" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="button.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-button-wrapper"> <a class="elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm" href="https://oats.org/fly-like-an-eagle-measuring-transformational-social-outcomes-among-seniors-using-technology/"> <span class="elementor-button-content-wrapper"> <span class="elementor-button-text">Read Fly Like an Eagle Report</span> </span> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-b5373f3" data-id="b5373f3" data-element_type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-262737a elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image" data-id="262737a" data-element_type="widget" data-settings="{"_animation":"fadeInDown"}" data-widget_type="image.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <a href="https://agingconnected.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Aging-Connected_Exposing-the-Hidden-Connectivity-Crisis-for-Older-Adults.pdf"> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="792" height="1024" src="https://149472333.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Screen-Shot-2021-02-17-at-11.52.23-AM-792x1024.png" class="attachment-large size-large wp-image-6558" alt="" srcset="https://149472333.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Screen-Shot-2021-02-17-at-11.52.23-AM-792x1024.png 792w , https://149472333.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Screen-Shot-2021-02-17-at-11.52.23-AM-232x300.png 232w , https://149472333.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Screen-Shot-2021-02-17-at-11.52.23-AM-768x993.png 768w , https://149472333.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Screen-Shot-2021-02-17-at-11.52.23-AM.png 1086w " sizes="(max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px" /> </a> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-8bfbfc2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="8bfbfc2" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h4 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">Aging Connected: Exposing the Hidden Connectivity Crisis for Older Adults</h4> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-8bd10a8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="8bd10a8" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p><span data-contrast="none">In partnership with the Humana Foundation, OATS released a report that for the first time quantified the size and degree of the digital isolation crisis among seniors in the United States. </span></p><p><span data-contrast="none">The report commissioned new research by two leading academics on the digital technology gap: John Horrigan from The Technology Policy Institute and Erin York Cornwell from Cornell University. The report presents a detailed portrait of digitally disconnected older adults in America, touching on how many people remain offline, which demographics are disproportionately affected, and more.</span></p><p>Key findings from the study include:</p><ul><li><strong>Nearly 22 million American seniors do not have wireline broadband access at home</strong>, representing 42 percent of the nation’s over-65 population.</li><li><strong>Technology is exacerbating social divisions and inequalities</strong>. OATS’ research found disturbing correlations between digital disengagement and race, disability, health status, educational attainment, immigration, rural residence, and income.</li><li><strong>Poor broadband can lead to risk of social isolation and</strong> limits access to essential public health information, social services, and digital healthcare services like tele-health and apps that manage chronic conditions.</li><li><strong>Public-private partnerships can increase connectivity access and produce positive social outcomes</strong> as a result of increased digital engagement.</li></ul>
