AbstractWith COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing has been implemented to prevent infection, making it difficult to meet people in person. Therefore, most social welfare service providers have switched from face-to-face services to non-face-to-face services. The population group that suffers the most from these changes is older people (Yoo & Lee, 2021; Lee & Yoon, 2021), who already experience loneliness and isolation due to social distancing. They are complaining of difficulties in using social welfare services since most information was provided online. This study was conducted for the purpose of developing a mobile application that provides information necessary for older adults who use a senior welfare center.Keywords: senior welfare centers, mobile applications, older adults, social connectedness, social isolation
