Orientatech Project
Orientatech It is an initiative managed by the Social Technologies Foundation TECSOS Established by the Spanish Red Cross and the Vodafone Spain Foundation, the project stems from over 15 years of experience applying ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) to address social challenges through technological innovation, contributing to the improvement of people's skills and paying special attention to the most vulnerable.
The analysis of ICT products is carried out by a team of experts in the social application of technology and a group of volunteers and potential users of these products, according to pre-established testing criteria. The professionals' backgrounds range from occupational therapists and psychologists to more technically skilled engineers.
The project takes the form of this website, which aims to be a benchmark for comparing social technology products, drawing on the experience accumulated by TECSOS during the development of numerous projects and the feedback from end users. Through evaluation and dissemination, Orientatech It aims to contribute to the promotion of people's well-being, and to collaborate with and advise influential bodies, public and private organizations that participate in the ecosystem of inclusion and social participation.
