Idrissa Beogo

About

Dr. Idrissa Beogo is a leading researcher in gerontology and public health, with a focused expertise on mitigating social isolation and loneliness among older adults, particularly those in long-term care facilities (LTCFs). His major contributions center on identifying and evaluating interventions that leverage social capital and information and communication technologies (ICTs) to combat the severe psychosocial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In his highly cited 2023 systematic review (13 citations), Dr. Beogo synthesized global evidence on ICT-based strategies to strengthen social capital and reduce isolation in LTCFs, providing a critical roadmap for pandemic-era care. His 2022 scoping review (5 citations) further cataloged promising best practices implemented during the crisis, offering actionable insights for facility administrators and policymakers. By systematically mapping these innovative interventions, Dr. Beogo’s work has directly informed the development of more resilient, human-centered care models for vulnerable aging populations. His research not only highlights the urgent need for technological and community-based solutions but also provides the evidence base to transform long-term care delivery in the face of future public health emergencies.
