Globally, there is an expanding elderly population, and families are finding it increasingly challenging to coordinate care for their older family members. This paper reports on the usage patterns of InfoSAGE, an online private social network that has tools for communication and care coordination for elders and their families. This descriptive analysis describes the types of family networks using the platform and types of functionality most used by elders and their family members.
