Global population estimate
WHO estimates that roughly one in six people worldwide experience loneliness. Loneliness concerns unmet connection; social isolation concerns insufficient contact.
This estimate does not diagnose any visitor or measure an app's benefit.
World Health Organization, 30 June 2025Systematic review of seven randomized trials, 580 participants; search through August 2024
The pooled effect was small and statistically nonsignificant. The interventions differed, and the evidence included few trials.
The review does not establish that Dimsocial reduces loneliness.
Meier et al., JMIR, 8 May 2026Experimental procedure studying short-term interpersonal closeness
The researchers studied structured, reciprocal disclosure between people.
This study does not show that this app's optional questions create lasting friendship or reduce loneliness. Dimsocial does not reproduce the study's question list.
Aron et al., 1997Shared interests and optional questions can offer a place to start. You choose whether to reply, join a group or continue a conversation. Gaming is one of many interests.
