DiLoFácil, an app that makes reading easier for people with cognitive disabilities

Magalí Garcia on 29 May 2025

App designed to make reading easier for people with cognitive disabilities or those who need support to understand written content.

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.

AiMA, virtual assistant to combat loneliness in older adults

A virtual assistant that provides support and companionship to older adults in order to combat unwanted loneliness

AiMA is a virtual assistant designed to accompany older adults with the goal of combating unwanted loneliness. Its function complements the support provided by professionals and family members, offering an active and always accessible tool.

Users can access AiMA through an app compatible with smartphones, tablets, or televisions, and generally any device with an Internet connection. Its technology is based on generative artificial intelligence models, which provide it with a high degree of autonomy, as it does not require constant access to external databases. Additionally, AiMA can adjust its behavior and tone to match the personality of each user.

This virtual assistant is programmed to remember information from previous conversations, such as names, faces, and images, to ensure smooth and natural communication with the user. Moreover, its empathetic and friendly tone positively impacts the emotional well-being of the older adults it interacts with.
