We believe that through shared passions, every senior can find a sense of belonging. Your voice is the starting point of this journey.
More than half of New Zealand's seniors have recently felt lonely or socially isolated. While many desire digital connection, concerns about online safety and scams prevent them from engaging with existing platforms.
Project Companion's mission is to be a safe, age-friendly digital home. By connecting seniors through shared interests like hiking and gardening, we aim to build a trusted community that genuinely combats loneliness.
We need your valuable insights to build a service that truly meets the needs of our senior community. Please choose the survey that best represents you. It only takes about 10-15 minutes to complete.
Senior Survey: Share Your Social Life
Your personal experience is our most valuable asset. Tell us about your social life, hobbies, and what you hope to see in a new community platform.
Family Survey: Share Your Observations
Your perspective helps us understand seniors' needs from another point of view. Share how you support your loved ones and your thoughts on a new service.
Thank you for completing the survey! To truly understand the needs of seniors and their families, we are seeking 10-30 individuals in Auckalnd area willing to participate in a one-on-one interview. Your insights will directly shape the design and development of Project Companion.
We'll come to you or meet at a nearby coffee shop at your convenience. Let us hear your life story over a cup of coffee and a muffin.
**Note: The interview will last approximately 30-45 minutes. All information shared will be kept strictly confidential and used for research purposes only.
Your trust is our greatest motivation.
