Assessment

Primary outcomes

Verbal fluency test

*Evaluation
Pre, post-intervention, and once a year during the intervention

Key secondary outcomes

Interpersonal Reactivity Index
Social Comparison Orientation scale
Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory
Personal Values Questionnaire II
Lubben Social Network Scale
Kihon Checklist
World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index
UCLA Loneliness Scale
NEO Five-Factor Inventory
WMS-R Logical Memory I and II
Mini-Mental State Examination
Montreal Cognitive Assessment
National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology-Functional Assessment Tool
Blood biomarkers

*Evaluation
Pre, post-intervention, and once a year during the intervention (For PVQ-II and MMSE, only at pre- and post-intervention. Due to scheduling constraints, NEO-FFI will be measured at two time points during the intervention period, preferably as close as possible to the baseline and endpoint. For blood biomarkers, measurements will be taken at a time point during the intervention period as close as possible to baseline, annually during the intervention, and after the intervention.)

As implementation outcomes, dropout rate (acceptability) and the number of questions asked per conversation session (adherence) are recorded.

Interventions/Control_1

A group conversation consisting of about 5 people is conducted. Before the session, participants are asked to take photos of a given theme with their smartphones or tablets and upload them to the application. Participants talk about their photos and participate in a question-and-answer session. After the session, participants review the conversations of other participants.
The program also includes study sessions to learn about the knowledge needed to maintain cognitive function and icebreakers to encourage active participation in conversations. All of these sessions will be held once a month for approximately 90-120 minutes.
