IWI Project, a support program for families seeking to improve their well-being

Fundació Acció Social Infància (FASI)

Projecte IWI

A program that provides support to families with minors in their care who detect difficulties within their own homes and wish to address them in a community-based manner

The IWI Project (community in Maori) is a pioneering service in Catalonia that offers support to families with underage children to improve their well-being, using the Family Group Conference restorative justice methodology, originally from New Zealand. This methodology is based on dialogue and trust in the abilities of families to find solutions to their problems through the active involvement of their community and support network.

The project is aimed at families who detect difficulties in their family dynamics and wish to address them. IWI offers a safe space where family members can express their needs and, together with the reference people they select, find community solutions to their problems. This process includes individual meetings with family members, the creation of a support community, and a final meeting where actions to be taken are discussed and agreed upon.

After the family meeting, IWI conducts follow-ups to assess progress and strengthen community ties. This follow-up is an opportunity to acknowledge the community’s effort and recognize the positive changes that have taken place. Thus, IWI not only works to resolve immediate issues but also seeks to strengthen family and community relationships in the long term. Additionally, there are plans to establish physical offices in all four provinces to provide a point of reference for families.

Metavers Plena Inclusión Aragón

Avatar that enables learning daily skills to enhance the autonomy of people with intellectual disabilities

Plena Inclusión Aragón and Cooperativa Kairós have developed a “metaverse” that allows practicing and learning daily skills through an avatar, aiming for people with intellectual disabilities to improve their autonomy and social participation.

The metaverse includes eight dimensions, in the form of virtual doors, symbolizing the central areas of a quality life: emotional well-being, interpersonal relationships, material well-being, personal development, physical well-being, self-determination, social inclusion, and rights. Some of the virtual activities that can be performed through the avatar include exercising, meeting friends, or participating in community activities. The application presents challenges in different areas and offers virtual rewards, such as avatar customization, thereby using gamification to encourage a healthy and fulfilling life.

The tool not only benefits people with disabilities in making decisions, but also allows professionals working with them to better understand their feelings and personal needs, expressed through the avatars. The creation of the metaverse is part of the project “Mi Casa: una vida en comunidad”, a model of deinstitutionalized long-term care for people with intellectual disabilities.

Energy Control

Drug analysis program that promotes responsible consumption

Energy Control is a project of the Association for Welfare and Development (ABD) that, among other services, sets up information points in drug consumption spaces, such as music festivals and nightclubs, to promote responsible and informed use and to offer a substance analysis service that ensures the safety of people who consume them in case of adulterated products.

The analysis results are obtained in less than five minutes. This allows for immediate advice on the actual composition of the substances. Moreover, the technique used is non-destructive and does not use reagents, which better reaches the population more reluctant to leave the substance at an analysis point.

The data obtained is inserted into the Energy Control database. Thus, practically all substances circulating at any given time can be identified, including adulterated or especially dangerous ones, and consumers can be alerted through their channels. The devices used in the analysis process are portable and can be easily moved to any space, so interventions can be carried out in usual consumption places.

The main objectives of this service are to contact drug users, inform about the composition of the substances the person wants to consume, advise on how to consume with less risk, monitor the market, detect trends, and alert interested parties in case adulterated products especially dangerous to health are circulating.

Reviu, a platform that promotes transparency in housing access

IDRA

Reviu

Online platform for sharing and searching for apartment reviews

Reviu is a portal where tenants can rate the apartments they live in or have lived in, as well as their relationship with the real estate agency and the property owner. The main objective is to provide transparent and real information about the real estate market to prevent people looking for housing from doing so blindly and without references. This way, the information asymmetry that currently characterizes the housing market can be overcome.

The platform allows searching for reviews of specific apartments and buildings, writing anonymous opinions, and searching for all published information about each real estate agency. When publishing a review, tenants must provide data about the apartment, such as the condition of the housing, the initial and final price, the relationship with the property owner and the neighbors, the characteristics of the space, the temperature, etc.

To combat fraud, the website relies on municipal cadastral data and information from Google. Although it is an anonymous portal, the platform asks for some personal data from the authors of the comments in order to contact them if they want to verify the authenticity of the reviews. To avoid creating a platform where only “hate comments” are posted, Reviu approaches reviews from a constructive perspective. The portal also offers practical resources, advice, and explanatory videos about information related to renting housing.

SmartSocks

Smart socks that enable the detection of risk situations in people with dementia

According to WHO data from 2023, more than 55 million people worldwide have dementia, with over 60% living in low- and middle-income countries. Annually, there are nearly ten million new cases. Additionally, dementia is the seventh leading cause of death globally and one of the main causes of dependency and disability among the elderly.

SmartSocks are intelligent socks that provide information about the condition of patients with dementia, but also with other conditions such as autism spectrum disorder and various intellectual disabilities. The sensor is embedded in discreet and comfortable socks that can be machine-washed, and it collects physiological data such as heart rate, movement, or anxiety. This way, caregivers receive alerts that allow them to intervene more quickly and prevent undesirable situations.

By scanning the QR code on the SmartSocks, the socks connect via Wi-Fi to the Milbotix app, which uses artificial intelligence to detect patterns and anomalies and alert caregivers before a risk situation occurs. These intelligent socks allow for the remote identification of cognitive changes in patients, a very useful feature for professionals in care homes and also allows extending the stay of people with dementia in their own homes before admitting them to a facility.

V-TOOLS

Project that combines technology and social innovation through immersive experiences with the aim of improving the lives of people and communities

Under the motto “If you don’t live it, you don’t feel it”, V-TOOLS uses virtual reality as a pedagogical tool to address social issues. The initiative mainly focuses on the prevention of cyberbullying and gender-based violence, with special attention to the dynamics generated among children, adolescents, and young people.

The organization conducts sessions in educational centers, targeting individuals aged 10 to 18 years old, where users put themselves in the shoes of people experiencing situations of violence, control, and discrimination. In the field of gender-based violence, for example, there are audiovisual capsules on topics such as jealousy, friendship, social networks, and sexual relationships. Regarding cyberbullying, the program addresses prejudice, diversity, and physical stereotypes, among other aspects.

V-TOOLS follows the quadruple helix model, a methodology based on close collaboration with key community actors: citizens, businesses, public administration, and knowledge centers, to generate synergies that favor economic and social development, promote social inclusion, and foster sustainability.

ShareAmi, intergenerational language exchanges through videoconferences

Oldyssey

ShareAmi

Language exchange program through videoconferences between elderly people and young individuals living outside their country

During the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, many elderly people found themselves isolated, while young refugees lost the opportunity to attend language meetings and classes that would facilitate their social integration and the learning of the host country’s language.

To address these two issues, the organization Oldyssey launched the ShareAmi project, a program that allows intergenerational language exchanges through videoconferences. On one hand, it helps young refugees better integrate into the new territory, and on the other, it combats the feeling of unwanted loneliness experienced by many elderly people. Additionally, the use of this tool also allows elderly people to improve their relationship with technology and, at the same time, reinforce their sense of usefulness in society.

ShareAmi operates through a volunteer system, in which volunteers contact both parties interested in the exchange and act as intermediaries. The meetings last for three months and are held weekly. To ensure follow-up, the mediator receives monthly feedback on the sessions. Once the scheduled time has passed, participants can decide whether to continue the video calls or end the exchange.

Kloosiv

Web platform that promotes social inclusion in housing to combat speculation and unwanted loneliness

Kloosiv is a cooperative web platform that combines technology and social intervention to facilitate access to housing for vulnerable groups struggling to pay rent. Its audience ranges from young people to single-parent families or elderly individuals living alone. The tool includes real information on the supply and demand of real estate in participating municipalities and offers more affordable rental prices compared to the market. The goal is to create a network that connects different stakeholders and, through artificial intelligence, optimizes resources and data to better meet their needs.

The initiative focuses on social and healthcare attention, well-being, home security, and conflict mediation. Kloosiv diagnoses the situation and specificities of both tenants and landlords. Professionals accompany individuals throughout the process and supervise each case personally.

Users’ circumstances vary. A common profile among Kloosiv users is elderly individuals experiencing unwanted loneliness who are looking for someone to safely share their apartment. There are also cases of young people who cannot afford to rent an apartment alone and are interested in accompanying someone living alone. In this sense, Kloosiv includes different types of cohabitation and provides professionals with regular monitoring to ensure residents’ comfort.

Additionally, the technological platform allows processing data and combining it with indicators of health, physical well-being, and emotional well-being to evaluate the program’s impact on users’ lives. Kloosiv also pays special attention to the homeless population and aligns with the Housing First methodology, prioritizing access to housing for these individuals.

STOP UPF

Research project to prevent suicide through artificial intelligence applied to social networks

According to the latest data from the INE, 4,227 people died by suicide in Spain in 2022. It is the highest number ever recorded in the country. One of the most concerning issues is the increase in suicide among adolescents, as cases have significantly risen from 53 to 75 compared to 2021. According to the WHO, each suicide has a severe emotional impact, at least on six people in the victim’s environment.

STOP is a research project that studies mental health problems on social networks through Artificial Intelligence. The goal is to find patterns related to the high risk of suicide and other disorders that can lead to this issue, such as depression or eating disorders. When a user matching a risk profile is detected, a targeted prevention campaign is launched, including information like the Helpline, available 24 hours a day, and other suicide prevention hotlines.

Some indicators taken into account include the times at which the person publishes content, interactions received from other users, their interests, and the type of posts. The team, consisting of psychologists, engineers, and psychiatrists, has developed algorithms that detect suicidal behavior patterns with 85% accuracy through texts, images, and social activities on Twitter.
