Internet‐Based Conversational Engagement Clinical Trial (I‐CONECT): Overview and new findings

The responders to the intervention could delay the cognitive decline by 6 months, even with conservative estimates. The weekly social interaction data suggest that I-CONECT intervention can activate weekly activities among socially isolated older adults, which could bring additional cognitive stimulations and prevent cognitive decline. These results further add evidence of the beneficial effects of social interactions among socially isolated older subjects and solidify the previous findings.
