The initiative has involved a collaborative effort between social organizations, researchers, and students to turn everyday challenges into viable technological solutions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Teva Idea \u00c9s Ci\u00e8ncia, a program led by the iSocial Foundation and the Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Catalunya (UPC), has reached its final stage after months of collaborative work. This initiative has brought together people with intellectual disabilities, social sector professionals, students, and researchers to develop technological solutions that enhance autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of six working sessions held between January and February 2025 at UPC campuses, students and researchers collaborated with service users and social sector professionals to design solutions addressing six key areas of daily life: communication, personal care, financial management, socialization, household tasks, and mobility<\/strong>. These challenges were based on 150 pain points or barriers to autonomy, previously identified in the All by Myself working group led by iSocial, in which users and professionals from the same organizations participating in La Teva Idea \u00c9s Ci\u00e8ncia took part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program will continue in April with a project definition workshop<\/strong>, where participants, guided by a facilitation team, will work creatively to turn ideas into concrete, viable proposals. This will be followed by a public voting process, allowing the university community and social services to select the two most promising initiatives. These will be showcased in a final event with all participants. The teams behind the winning proposals will receive support from UPC to bring their ideas to life.<\/p>\n\n\n
