Social isolation is a growing issue that severely affects ageing populations. It is both physically and psychologically detrimental, putting a strain on the healthcare system. Interviewing older people and professionals in the field was key in generating and developing Grace - an AI-powered dynamic service database, supporting social prescribing by providing Link Workers an always-updated list of local services that they can refer socially isolated older people to. The information is validated through AI-driven phone calls, saving hundreds of hours of calling time for Link Workers.
