  7. Research shows that people who are socially isolated often become depressed and lonely. Facelook aims to alleviate this through Skype video chats with a Red Cross volunteer, family and friends. It will also help the elderly to remain independent in their own homes. • Facelook was a 6-month trial with Suffolk PCT , British Red Cross &BT • ~28 installations through East Suffolk (Nov 2012 – May 2013). • Pilot concluded at end of June 2013 with interview based analysis. • BT providing: • Trials management • Broadband • Wi-Fi routers • Installation and technical support • Trial analysis and support

  8. Why TV Based? • In this target group, everyone has a TV. • It is a familiar and trusted device to build upon. Key Learning • Every installation was different, the majority difficult. • Broadband and Wi-Fi are key challenges. • Most users were not frightened of the technology. • Most struggled with the complex user experience. • There was also some genuine fear of the technology.

Some numbers … • 28 live triallists: • 20% aged 60 to 73 years old • 55% aged 83 to 92 years old • 25% aged 93 to 98 years old • 7 drop-outs • 4 struggled with technology, 3 had change of circumstances • 5 users exceeding monthly broadband usage limit • Facelook filmed and appeared ‘BBC East’ news. • YouTube promotional video.
