Summary: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of digital technology interventions (DTIs) in reducing loneliness in older adults. However, the meta-analysis results showed no evidence supporting the effectiveness of DTIs in reducing loneliness among older adults. Further research may need to focus on randomized controlled trials with larger sample sizes and longer intervention durations.
