Abstract
In “A Randomized Controlled Trial of Mobile Intervention Using Health Support Bubbles to Prevent Social Frailty”, Hayashi et al. investigated the effects of using a mobile health app with family or individually. Greater improvements in social behavior and frailty were noted in participants who used the app with family. In an era of remote healthcare and app-based health interventions, Hayashi et al.’s study reminds of the importance of human connection.
