A shortlist from the top of my mind:

* Individualised settings per contact

* Who is this person to you?

* How often do you want to engage with this contact?

* What kind of ambitions do you have with this contact?

* More refined suggestions based on the above

* Training module to improve your social skills

* Knowledge base

* Regular blogs/videos/podcasts about the loneliness topic

* Seasonal events and designs

> * How often do you want to engage with this contact? and perhaps have a reminder "you usually call X person every Friday around 6pm, it is now 6pm"

> * What kind of ambitions do you have with this contact? pop a reminder/message: "did you manage to establish phase 5- "ask Mary out for a date"?"

> * Knowledge base a la IMDB on the bio: spouse, siblings, birthday, etc.

At least on Android there is a nice app for the first point. It will track your calls and messages and remind you to contact people in certain intervals based on predefined contact group settings: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.barta.stayi...
