ConfIA, AI to humanise mental health consultations

Tona Giriberts on 16 July 2026

ConfIA is an AI-based tool that automates note-taking during mental health visits to promote more person-centred care.

ConfIA, IA per humanitzar la consulta de salut mental

ConfIA is a project driven by Pere Claver Group that uses artificial intelligence to facilitate note-taking during mental health service visits. Its aim is to promote mindfulness and active listening towards the person receiving care in order to improve the quality of services.

The project is being launched as a pilot in the Adult Mental Health Centres (CSMA) of Sants and Montjuïc. It is a pioneering initiative involving multidisciplinary teams of psychology, psychiatry, nursing and social work.

The project is implemented through the Relisten application from Recog, which records the natural conversation between the professional and the person being assisted, automatically transforming it into clinical information organised into structured fields for the clinical record. This allows the professional to devote their full attention to the person they are attending, without having to take notes. The generated content is presented as an initial draft that the professional must review and validate, with the aim of ensuring clinical judgement and the quality of the record.

The project incorporates an ethical perspective, prioritises the well-being of the person receiving care, and the associated research has been validated by the Research Ethics Committee of the Unió Catalana d’Hospitals Foundation. The well-being of the person receiving care is also ensured. Furthermore, professionals and service users participate voluntarily and by signing an informed consent form.

The pilot project includes an evaluation led by the Pere Claver Group’s Institute of Teaching and Research to analyse its impact on professionals and care recipients, taking into account differences by centre and speciality. For professionals, the study will examine the tool’s ease of use, the reduction in administrative burden, improvements in report quality and in the clinical relationship, as well as satisfaction levels. As for the people receiving care, it will be assessed whether they perceive a more personalised service, with greater listening, trust and comfort, and whether they identify changes compared to previous visits. The objective is to obtain solid evidence on the tool’s impact on the quality of care.

Through the ConfIA project, Pere Claver Group is driving digital innovation as a tool to improve care, with the aim of strengthening the quality of care and the experience of both patients and professionals.

Ithaca Laundry, Mobile laundry services and social reintegration for people experiencing homelessness

Ben Schmidt on 10 December 2025

Europe’s first mobile laundry unit for people experiencing homelessness

Ithaca Laundry provides free laundry and hygiene services to individuals living on the streets or in precarious housing conditions, primarily around Athens and the wider Attica area. Since 2016, the organization has operated a van equipped with washing machines and dryers, a mobile laundry unit that travels to various locations to collect, wash, dry and return clothes to beneficiaries who otherwise lack access to basic sanitation facilities.

Beyond the immediate benefit of clean clothing, Ithaca frames hygiene as a foundation for dignity, a steppingstone toward restoring self-esteem, social inclusion and improved life chances.

To complement its hygiene services, the organization also implements social-reintegration programmes: individuals who have experienced homelessness may be offered part-time roles within Ithaca, operating the mobile laundry or contributing to administrative and support tasks, as a transitional employment pathway.

Since 2021, Ithaca has further expanded to include social services and employment counselling, offering beneficiaries support with CV writing, job-search assistance and psychosocial support, thus aiming for durable reintegration into the labour market and society.

Additionally, Ithaca Laundry engages in awareness-raising and advocacy, working to shift public perception and influence policies related to homelessness, poverty, and social exclusion. Its interventions sometimes extend to emergency response, distributing hygiene items or clothing during cold weather or crises.

Through this multi-pillar approach, hygiene services, reintegration support, and advocacy, Ithaca Laundry aims not only to meet basic needs, but to offer pathways for vulnerable individuals to emerge from social exclusion with dignity and opportunity.
