The idea is based on the concept of social support, a recognized pillar for mental health and emotional resilience. Studies, including meta-analyses published in journals such as 'Perspectives on Psychological Science', confirm that a strong social network is strongly correlated with better stress management and increased life expectancy. Using a digital tool to facilitate this access is a pragmatic strategy that reduces the barrier to entry for seeking help. This advice is validated by social psychology, which highlights that the perception of being surrounded decreases the physiological response to stress. There is nothing exaggerated here, as the tool does not replace professional help, but serves as a relational safety net. The approach is consistent with research on the importance of the quality of social ties rather than their quantity.

What the graded evidence says

Evidence: B+

Linked to, not proven to cause.

Effect: survival by strength of social relationships; mortality risk from loneliness/social isolation/living alone (meta-analyses of cohorts) — stronger social relationships OR 1.50 (95% CI 1.42-1.59) for survival; social isolation OR 1.29, loneliness OR 1.26, living alone OR 1.32 for mortality
Measured on: adults across many countries and age groups (308,849+ participants pooled)

These are associations from cohort studies, so healthier, better-resourced people may both connect more and live longer. The link is strong and consistent, but claims that touch or connection directly "change your gene expression" go beyond the evidence.
