The "Hub Digital Adacen" is the protagonist of the digital transformation in the attention to the users of the entity.
Adacen promotes a pilot project in Navarra for the digital transformation of the social sector, with the collaboration of the "Innovasocial" programme of Fundación Caja Navarra and Fundación "La Caixa".
Adacen is working on an ambitious project of digital transformation of its activity to design and pilot a new model of comprehensive care for ageing and disability incorporating the use of internet and artificial intelligence. This model, called Adacen Digital Hub, could be transferred to other entities of the social and health sector.
The increase in life expectancy and survival after suffering a neurological disease are increasing the number of people with disabilities who require support in their lives.  This poses a new social challenge that demands new models of social and health care that avoid or delay the institutionalisation of these people.
The coronavirus pandemic and the consequences derived from the confinement in the rehabilitation process of the users accelerated the implementation in Adacen of a new model of remote care on which they had already been working for some time. 
With the support of Innovasocial, Fundación Caja Navarra and Fundación "La Caixa" and the collaboration of technology companies, they started working on a programme of digital transformation of services through the incorporation of cutting-edge technologies in the social sphere, generating differential value proposals to improve the quality of life of users in their homes. 
Its main objectives are to promote independence and autonomy in the development of daily life, and to extend treatments in intensity and time through telerehabilitation. 

This model, called Hub Digital Adacen, will also serve to provide rehabilitation and disability care services in rural areas, an environment that until now has lacked this type of opportunities, favouring the permanence of these people in their homes. All this through a personalised programme based on digital devices. 

To achieve these objectives, a process of digital empowerment and training of users, family members and professionals is undertaken.

Telerehabilitation is carried out through different platforms and technologies that use virtual reality, gamification or gamification. The aim is for users to be able to carry out physical and cognitive rehabilitation therapies at home, controlled remotely by therapists. 

At the same time, the suitability and usability of applications and digital products based on artificial intelligence, sensorisation and monitoring are being assessed and tested in some cases. The aim is to achieve, through this technology, objective parameters with which to prepare personalised therapies, monitor and evaluate them, making these people as autonomous as possible in their homes.

In this public-private collaboration project, apart from Adacen professionals, technological companies, Public University of Navarra, neurology institutes and public administration participate through the development of co-creation meetings for the development or improvement of the technologies. 

In the words of Andrés Ilundáin Esquíroz, manager of Adacen, "We are excited about the development of the project, as we are discovering the potential of new technologies that, adapted to the needs of each person, allow us, in an objective way, to design individualised programmes and to monitor and evaluate the evolution of the user, while empowering and promoting their autonomy". 

The project will end in 2022, and it is estimated that by then all of the organisation's users will benefit from it, to a greater or lesser extent.
