Aplicació de suport a la lectura

DiLoFácil is a digital tool designed to make information more accessible to individuals with cognitive challenges or those who need reading support.

The app is easy to use: the user takes a photo of the text they want to understand better, and the app instantly provides an adapted version based on easy-to-read guidelines. This allows everyday information, like medical leaflets, user manuals, or official notices, to become clearer and more accessible.

The app is powered by an artificial intelligence system trained specifically to adapt texts based on principles of easy reading and cognitive accessibility. As the user continues to use DiLoFácil, the system learns the degree of simplification needed, the vocabulary that works best for the user, and the formats that enhance their comprehension. It also analyzes the context of the text to preserve its original meaning and avoid misunderstandings.

Tool that provides resources to offer emotional support to people living with multiple sclerosis

EMO

EMO is an app designed to provide emotional self-management strategies for people living with multiple sclerosis, with the goal of offering psychological support to help them navigate daily life with the condition.

Developed by the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation, the app is intended as a complementary tool to the psychological care already provided by the organization. EMO empowers users to manage emotional crises linked to the challenges of living with the disease and encourages better communication with healthcare professionals involved in their care.

To get started, users create a profile and enter the year of their most recent diagnosis. Based on this information, the app generates a personalized space where users can assess and track their emotional state. They are prompted to describe how they feel, identify the dominant emotion, rate its intensity on a scale from 1 to 10, and specify whether it is related to health, work, or family life. Using this data, the app offers tailored strategies to help reduce the intensity of the emotion over the course of two weeks.

Users can reassess themselves whenever they feel the need. If there is no noticeable improvement, the app provides contact information for nearby multiple sclerosis associations for further support.

EMO uses artificial intelligence to process user data and, following predefined criteria, selects the strategies and resources best suited to each individual situation. It offers a range of tools and techniques, available in both audio and text formats, to help users better understand and manage their emotions. All entries are stored, allowing users to track their progress and save the most effective resources in a section called “My Favorite Strategies.” In parallel, healthcare professionals gain access to valuable data that can help improve their approach to supporting people with multiple sclerosis.

wSocial is a tool that uses artificial intelligence to improve social services intervention

Wsocial (1) min

Currently, the management of massive amounts of information represents a challenge for the administration of social services. wSocial is a tool that allows information to be centralized with the aim of streamlining administrative processes and facilitating the work of professionals.

wSocial is one of the information systems integrated into the eSocial platform, which is aimed at promoting Digital Transformation within the Department of Social Rights of the Government of Catalonia. This platform centralizes and coordinates twelve information systems (IS) that cover various areas of social services, with the goal of standardizing work processes and providing complete and up-to-date information to social service professionals. Within this digital ecosystem, wSocial is the designated tool for social intervention.

wSocial connects and standardizes the information systems of the different Basic Areas of Social Services (ABSS) and Social Rights. In addition, it includes health data and is prepared to access information from other systems such as Education or Justice, as well as from other administrations like the Tax Agency or Social Security.

The tool includes a citizen data viewer in order to offer comprehensive and integrated care focused on individual needs. Data centralization facilitates the planning of interventions, improves the evaluation of the services provided, and increases process transparency, enabling clearer and more effective tracking of each procedure.

wSocial uses a coded and standardized vocabulary called the Intersocial Dictionary, which enables interoperability with other social services and related fields. This vocabulary includes specific terms that help identify social issues or risk situations and is based on the international standard SNOMED CT. As data is entered—typically collected through an interview between the user and the social professional—wSocial automatically detects these predefined words and terms. Thanks to the use of specialized algorithms, it can detect situations of vulnerability and assist professionals in proposing different forms of intervention. Soon, wSocial will also allow interviews to be automatically recorded, transcribed, and translated.

Its goal is to simplify the administrative and operational processes of social services so that professionals can dedicate more resources to direct care. The tool proposes a new agile model of social intervention that improves the quality of relationships between professionals and citizens, offering a more effective and accessible service.

Cognitive decline is the loss of functions associated with memory, learning, and other mental processes related to the reduction of brain activity. Its causes are related to aging, various infectious or chronic diseases, or may be the result of an unhealthy lifestyle. Neuropsychological rehabilitation is a therapy that aims to stimulate and develop the cognitive functions of a person that have been affected.

The Guttmann Institute has created an online cognitive rehabilitation platform that offers personalized treatments for people with neurological impairments. Guttmann, NeuroPersonalTrainer (GNPT) is aimed at neurorehabilitation professionals who serve individuals with brain damage, dementia, intellectual disabilities, and mental health-related conditions. Its use is very simple and guarantees high-quality personalized treatment.

Based on a neuropsychological assessment, professionals prescribe a treatment aimed at stimulating the brain areas affected in each patient. The platform allows therapists to plan rehabilitation sessions from a catalog of activities specifically designed to stimulate the deteriorated areas. The therapy consists of sixty sessions of approximately one hour, guided and adjusted by a neuropsychologist who monitors the process and adjusts the planning according to the patient’s progress. During these sessions, the patient performs exercises that, in real-time, adapt to their progress depending on the level of difficulty they present. Additionally, it offers follow-up visits aimed at the patient and/or the family, with the goal of discussing their progress and addressing emotional and behavioral aspects.

GNPT includes programs that automatically manage all available activities and generate personalized treatments automatically. This way, GNPT allows for resource savings and provides a fast and efficient service. It also allows the prescribed exercises to be carried out both from the reference healthcare center and from the patient’s home, ensuring accessible and flexible therapy. The therapist can monitor and follow the patient’s progress without the need to schedule a prior visit. In this way, they can evaluate the results and modify the treatment remotely, facilitating quick adjustments that adapt in real-time to the patient’s evolution.

It also offers professionals the opportunity to take online training to familiarize themselves with all its features and provide an efficient and up-to-date service. Additionally, the Guttmann NeuroPersonalTrainer website details all the centers using it and provides contact information.

The Social Innovation Chair of the UdL evaluates the Vincles project in Erill la Vall

Last Thursday, March 27, the team from the Social Innovation Chair of the University of Lleida (UdL) began the evaluation of the Vincles Alt Pirineu-Aran project in Eril la Vall, taking advantage of one of the activities promoted within the framework of the project: the monthly traditional cooking workshop. The Vincles project, coordinated by the iSocial Foundation, aims to detect and intervene early against unwanted loneliness in people over 65 years old, and is active in several municipalities in the Alt Pirineu and Aran territory, including the municipality of Eril de Vall.


Vincles combines the use of technology with community activation, which, through activities such as this cooking workshop, seeks to create community and socialization spaces to improve the quality of life of older people. From a technological standpoint, the project uses Big Data technology to identify and classify the risk of loneliness in individuals, allowing for more precise and effective community intervention.


The University of Lleida is one of the project’s partners, and the involvement of its Social Innovation Chair is key to ensuring the measurability and reproducibility of the results achieved in the implementation of Vincles. During the evaluation carried out in Eril de Vall, the research team, which is currently in the first phase of qualitative analysis, organized several focus groups with the workshop participants to gather information on how the project has impacted their perception and experience of loneliness. This methodology has allowed them to collect data on the participants’ satisfaction with the actions and initiatives developed within the project framework.


The evaluation process will continue in the current weeks with new visits to other areas of the project, such as Cerdanya, Val d’Aran and Alt Urgell, to continue expanding the collection of data and analyzing the effectiveness of the interventions. The Vincles project, in which the Regional Councils and Municipalities of the Alt Pirineu-Aran also participate, in addition to the entities ABD, Alba Jussà and Integra Pirineus, is supported by the Diputació de Lleida, the Fundació La Caixa and the Generalitat de Catalunya through the Next Generation funds.

Mokin is a live intelligent translation tool that breaks down language barriers between asylum seekers and the professionals who support them. Through instant translation, Mokin immediately translates voices into the language spoken by the respective recipients, allowing both parties to communicate effectively.

Its main function is to help create participation and integration plans through voice-to-voice translation. Its operation is very simple: users speak in their language, and Mokin instantly translates what is said into the language of the interlocutor, without the need for an interpreter.

Mokin uses artificial intelligence models that provide more accurate translations than generic translators. Additionally, it is specialized in terminology related to the social and legal context of migrants, which facilitates their integration. It also takes into account the cultural nuances of users and adapts to the particularities of their native language. The tool is specialized in the languages most spoken by asylum seekers in the Netherlands, such as Persian, Tigrinya, and Arabic, with plans to incorporate additional languages. In this way, it ensures fluid, precise, and understandable communication between asylum seekers and those accompanying them.

Furthermore, it allows users to listen to previous translations, translate texts, download complete transcriptions, and provides explanations and clarifications for translations that may not be clear. In the future, developers plan to include a feature that will generate reports based on the conversations held, as well as offer an incognito mode to ensure a higher level of security, although it should be noted that it currently already complies with the privacy standards of the Dutch government regarding the maintenance of anonymity and the confidentiality of user data.

Currently, they offer a private beta version aimed at public employees and asylum seekers who request support through the form available on their website.
