Challenge
LifeStream Services is an award-winning non-profit focused on providing a range of programs and services for individuals at risk of losing their independence, their families, and their communities. A particular focus of the LifeStream team is using technology to combat feelings of isolation and loneliness among seniors who are living independently in a rural setting.
iN2L is a vital lifeline for seniors living in rural areas of Indiana who are experiencing isolation and loneliness. The iN2L tablets promote connection and lessen the feelings of isolation by reliably connecting users with the world around them.
The iN2L tablet and platform have been a wonderful addition to the services and support that LifeStream is able to provide for the individuals we serve in the community who are working to maintain their independence at home. Participants report feeling more engaged in their daily activities, more connected to friends and family, and less isolated and depressed after emerging from the pandemic. LifeStream is grateful to partner with iN2L to deliver this wonderful product to so many deserving seniors.
