The "laCaixa" Foundation to collaborate with UIC Barcelona to create a sensory room at Cuides UIC Barcelona
As part of its enduring commitment to giving back to society, the "laCaixa" Foundation is collaborating with UIC Barcelona on a number of projects, some of which are linked to the social and healthcare field, such as the Cuides UIC Barcelona clinic. The Foundation’s support will help set up a sensory room for the future clinic, part of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.
 
As such, the new facilities will be able to offer a space of calm reflection and emotional care, where both patients and their families will be able to disconnect from the hospital surroundings, for instance when suffering from anxiety or panic attacks. Thanks to the incorporation of new technologies, such as virtual reality, the sensory room at Cuides UIC Barcelona will be an innovative, welcoming space that can be adapted to the needs of each patient.
 
The main mission of the new Cuides UIC Barcelona clinic, which will open its doors in 2021, is to offer comprehensive, quality care to people with complex, progressive diseases that affect their quality of life, emotional well-being and family life.
