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.

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.

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.

La Rueca Asociación

User using the eRueca application with the mobile phone

A virtual social center that provides information, guidance, and support to individuals facing social exclusion through a multi-channel online connection.

e-Rueca is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and is a completely free service. The application is designed as a physical care center, a building with multiple floors and service rooms where users can find and interact with teams of professionals ready to help them, provide support, and offer information. The more than 10 technicians involved in this project provide user support in various intervention fields. Of the eight rooms that e-Rueca makes available to the user, five are dedicated to direct social and psychological care: the Psychology Room, the Work Room, the Legal and Immigration Room, the Social Care Room, and the Youth Room; in these rooms, they offer everything from legal advice for foreigners to mediation. They also provide answers to frequently asked questions related to each intervention area and a section of resources in text and video format. With these five rooms, the different needs for accompaniment and support of people in situations of social exclusion are covered, always taking into account their specific circumstances.

The remaining three rooms are: the Reception, which provides information about the project and its goals; the Exhibition Room, where tools and resources (hobbies, games, tests, infographics, etc.) are collected with the aim of raising awareness about situations and groups in social vulnerability; and the auditorium, a meeting space for third-sector professionals that includes updates related to online training, webinars, or events that the organization makes available to professionals.

Communication between users and professionals is possible through various channels. The most direct is instant chat, but it is also possible to make inquiries via SMS, WhatsApp, email, or video calls. If the user requests it, the possibility of face-to-face assistance with a hybrid option is also considered. The team of professionals responds within a maximum of 48 hours. Thus, in a simple way and through mobile devices, tablets, and computers, vulnerable individuals can contact and receive the attention they need quickly and efficiently.

Case Compass, social services case management toolkit 

World Bank Group, Rapid Social Response 

social worker visit

A set of tools that the World Bank makes available to social service practitioners in any country with the aim of facilitating their work, promoting the social protection actions of governments and improving case management services. 

Case management is a social protection strategy that meets the needs of a wide range of populations. It is a goal-based and highly user-centred process, requiring assessment of the needs of the user. In the case of social services, the most frequent targets are low-income families, unemployed or jobseekers, children and the elderly. Social workers are responsible for supporting these people in solving individual or family problems, facilitating their access to services through an agreed action plan. 

To facilitate case management, the Case Compass tools include catalogues of available programmes, forms for assessment and design of intervention plans with families, manuals to support each phase of the intervention cycle, protocols and referral mechanisms, and support material for daily social work practice. In this way, the World Bank aims to support local social service operators and provide them with the possibility to adapt the tools to their specific context.  

Case Compass also offers a prototype –the Case Management Information System (CMIS)– which provides information on beneficiaries and collects and details the progress of any intervention or referral in internal or third party services. Finally, Case Compass offers personalised advice to social services teams to set up and run the platform’s tools.
