Enhancing Quality of Life for Older Adults With and Without Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) Through Social Engagement Over Video Technology

April 27, 2026 updated by: Wendy Rogers, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to rigorously assess the efficacy of an 8-week social engagement OneClick intervention. A total of 120 older adults with and without mild cognitive impairment (60 per group) will be randomized after a baseline assessment to the social engagement OneClick intervention group or the waitlist control group. Participants assigned to the intervention group will receive the social engagement OneClick intervention for 8 weeks, and will complete a mid-assessment at week 4, and a post-assessment at week 8. Participants assigned to the waitlist control group will receive no intervention for the first 8 weeks and will complete assessments at week 4 and week 8. Subsequently, as an extension to this study, participants assigned to the waitlist control group will have an opportunity to participate in 8 weeks of social engagement OneClick intervention.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: OneClick Social Engagement Intervention Group
Intervention group participants will receive the social engagement OneClick intervention for 8 weeks, and will complete a mid-assessment at week 4, and a post-assessment at week 8.
Other: OneClick Social Engagement Intervention
Intervention group participants will receive the social engagement OneClick intervention for 8 weeks, and will complete a mid-assessment at week 4, and a post-assessment at week 8. Participants will use a computer or tablet to participate in two social engagement events per week. The intervention events will be delivered through the OneClick video conferencing platform. During each session participants will watch a short slideshow around a series of topics (e.g., nature, technology, hobbies) and get to engage in conversations surround the topics presented, which will be held in breakout rooms. Breakout room discussions will be set for 30 minutes, and participants will be provided with questions surrounding the topics to help stimulate conversation.
Other: OneClick Social Engagement Waitlist Control Group
Waitlist control group participants will receive no intervention for the first 8 weeks and will complete assessments at week 4 and week 8. Following the completion of the 8-week controlled portion, waitlist participants will be provided with the opportunity to participate in the OneClick social engagement intervention through the intervention extension.
Other: OneClick Social Engagement Intervention Extension
Waitlist control group participants will receive no intervention for the first 8 weeks and will complete assessments at week 4 and week 8. Following the completion of the 8-week controlled portion, waitlist participants will be provided with the opportunity to participate in the OneClick social engagement intervention through the intervention extension. Waitlist participants will use a computer or tablet to participate in two social engagement events per week. The intervention events will be delivered through the OneClick video conferencing platform over the span of 8 weeks.
