The Training Area of Fundación Magtel in direct collaboration with Fundación Tecnologías Sociales-Tecsos, is addressing the second phase of the project “Red Social Innovación” whose objective is to increase the visibility and impact of the of the website, which began to be developed last year.

In particular, work is underway to search for new external partners and the initiatives of the Cruz Roja Española. In addition, in the short term, we want to develop an Instagram profile in order to be able to disseminate all the initiatives that are uploaded to the platform.

“Red Social Innovación” encompasses three main blocks. Firstly, “Identification and selection of innovative initiatives at international level” secondly, “Searching for new ways of financial sustainability to boost the project”; and finally, “Increasing outreach in relation to new virtual spaces of national and international participation in which to actively take part”.

The initiative was launched in 2021 with the aim of testing, scaling and promoting the social innovations created and developed within Cruz Roja y Medialuna Roja movements as well as those produced by public and private actors in the innovation sector. Today, our aim is to generate sustainability in terms of technical and economic stabilisation of the project.

Since the creation of Fundación Magtel, networking between social entities has been promoted with the aim of achieving social and technological improvements. The entity collaborates by fostering the opportunities to reach new representative European actors in the field of employability and social innovation.

The project is part of the “Forma y Contrata 2022” call for proposals promoted by the  Instituto Municipal de Desarrollo Económico y Empleo de Córdoba (Imdeec)

The Magtel Foundation has implemented a Terapiam system at the Aprofis Nuevos Pasos facility, an association that works to integrate Montalbán (Córdoba) residents who have physical and psychological disorders. The platform, aimed at improving the physical condition, personal autonomy and cognitive stimulation of people with motor disorders, has been installed at the association’s headquarters thanks to financial assistance from the Cajasur Foundation.

Terapiam is a system developed by the Magtel Foundation and Magtel’s R&D&i division to help people relearn balance and how to walk when, for biomechanical or neurophysiological reasons, they lack full physical autonomy to remain upright. Its main purpose is to simulate physical therapy sessions in an interactive context created using augmented reality techniques.

Designed for minors and adults with physical and intellectual functional diversity, the device features interactive games based on virtual reality to perform motor and cognitive exercises, as well as a tool to assist with therapy. It also targets stimuli and visual self-control, and fosters short- and medium-term motivation.

The partnership between the entities involved was announced at the Aprofis headquarters during an event attended by Miguel Ruz, Mayor of Montalbán; Juan Miguel Luque, Director of the Social Innovation and Aid Program at the Cajasur Foundation; and Adrián Fernández, Director of the Magtel Foundation.
