This year, SSIBE presented the Be Water project, driven by the institution itself, at the II Health Innovation Day organized by IDIBGI. This initiative aims to improve hydration for individuals with dysphagia through a textured water solution presented as ice cream.
Ivet Clemente, a speech therapist at SSIBE and project leader, shared the experience and journey of Be Water in various innovation support programs during one of the event's panels. The solution was conceived in collaboration with Jordi Roca, pastry chef at El Celler de Can Roca, and developed by the Emporhotel team.
The Be Water project received a €5,000 grant from the GIR-INNOVA call (Sondeja phase), organized by ITEMAS-IDIBGI. It has also benefited from the ITEMAS Project Support Program for Innovation and obtained the ITEMAS quality seal.
This journey reinforces SSIBE's commitment to transforming identified needs in clinical practice into projects capable of generating new health solutions, with the support of the Pro-beta Space from its innovation unit.
