Abstract: Loneliness is a significant threat to both the mental and physical health of the elderly and has become an urgent public health concern. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an Android-based application for loneliness prevention among the elderly within families (SIAGA) that is tailored to their needs. The purpose of this community service program is to enable older adults to use Android devices according to their needs as a means of preventing loneliness. The implementation method began with a pre-test on the level of loneliness experienced by the elderly using a questionnaire, followed by mentoring sessions that included education on loneliness prevention and guidance on how to use the SIAGA application as an intervention for preventing loneliness through Android devices. The activities were conducted through discussions, Q&A sessions, and demonstrations, and concluded with a post-test. The program was successfully implemented, as the elderly participants were able to understand the educational materials provided and felt entertained by the application. This was reflected in the questions they asked and their expressed enthusiasm to use the application at home.
