The Isolation Solution

Social distancing policies enacted the world over during the COVID-19 pandemic have left many people socially isolated. Your challenge is to develop innovative solutions to combat social isolation.

Kairós - Isolation Mental Assessment

Summary

Kairos is a means of assessing your mental state in confinement. you play on a board and will help quarantined people deal with their feelings and get to know each other. Created by combining NASA astronaut isolation data with Jungian Psychology, the way of dealing with time will make people more aware of their mental health and will induce positive actions during these difficult times, lessening sequels and psychosomatic triggers . A playful therapy accessible to all phases and social classes.

How We Addressed This Challenge


What impact does it have on society and the planet?

The worldwide pandemic process brought up emotional, physical and psychological issues related to isolation from quarantine. Taking the example of astronauts, who experience social isolation and confinement during their missions in several aspects, and knowing that they undergo training, both physical and emotional, to deal with these bio-psychosocial issues, Káiros' proposal is to help solve the problems physical, mental and emotional problems of ordinary people who are in confinement. In the same way that NASA trains and supports its astronauts to guarantee good quality and good performance in missions, our proposal is to “train”, that is, to establish a channel of communication and emotional learning with all those who need this support, from doctors in isolation and with high work demands on the elderly population, who, most of the time, found themselves marginalized in these pandemic times. With the discoveries of neurobiology, the biochemistry of the nervous system and even contemporary authors who have resumed such relationships, several dialogues between brain sciences and psychoanalysis can develop. And one of them is within the analytical psychology of Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961). “The brain is born with a finished structure, it will function in a way to insert itself in today's world, having, however, its history. It was developed over millions of years and represents the history of which it is the result. Naturally, traces of such a story are present as throughout the body, and if we dive into the basic structure of the mind, we will certainly find traces of an archaic mind (JUNG, 2011, p. 56). ” In this perspective, we find consonance with the fact that “Feelings change thinking, action and surroundings; the action changes the thinking, the feelings and the environment; the environment influences thoughts, feelings and action; thoughts influence the feeling, the action and the environment. ” José Antonio Marina (Toledo, 1939), full professor of philosophy, essayist and pedagogue

Between the relationships between language, interaction and cognition and their contributions to the field of Health, we can highlight the relationship between language and cognition in the context of aphasias and Alzheimer's Disease, in order to point out the implications - and the advantages - of a model not merely biomedical disease for the field of Health. Aphasias and Alzheimer's Disease report a metalinguistic deficiency and memory loss, in this perspective rescuing and working on this emotional memory also guarantees support and development for these people. In order to facilitate individual emotional interaction and work on issues of self, family, friends, feelings, school, concerns and theirs for different forms of expression, in addition to analyzing the individual's decision-making process , the game can be used in different contexts (clinic, hospital, school, family home and can be used individually or in groups, (of course within the health parameters of the pandemic) to work on individual and specific health issues such as anxiety disorder , depression, etc. The choice of a board game instead of a technological game, gave rise to the problem of the lack of access to technological resources to the various social classes and age groups, such as the elderly in nursing homes.

The main impact is to seek a social transformation, this transformation comes from a programmed path, a path, a life trajectory represented by a board, with the intention of bringing reflective dilemmas about the individual and about his choices, about his context Social.

How We Developed This Project

With more than 20 years of experience in space travel, NASA has data on social isolation experienced by astronauts, psychiatric disorders, behavioral conditions, building effective measures to provide learning and emotional knowledge issues for people who are experiencing the quarantine process. Making use of Jung's psychology to create good "Expeditionary Behavior", a term used by astronauts to characterize actions to live and work in small groups

In addition, the database provided made it possible to understand more about the social isolation experienced by astronauts and this helped us to build effective measures to solve learning and emotional knowledge issues for ordinary people who are experiencing the quarantine process.

Data and images of the sky, space and constellations will also be used as an inspirational resource for making the clock.

First of all, this reflection is fundamental for the universe, the answer is tempting, with reflections on you, we have reached a possible personal transformation, a personal transformation that reaches small layers of everything we touch, which together culminate in a global wave of improvements

All people who are submitted to the quarantine regime and suffer from biopsychosocial issues, when they are not with their emotional capacity, develop multiple problems in both physical and emotional health.

According to NASA research, social isolation has been practiced before, by some groups of professionals, such as astronauts, researchers in the biological field, terrestrial scientists, among other groups of people, but it is proven for the elderly, for example, social isolation makes -a negative act, as it can adversely affect your health and well-being, that is, in the short, medium and long term, can increase the risk of depression, self-harm, self-neglect behavior and decline in cognitive functioning.

The solution to this problem represents an opportunity not only to positively transform people's lives, but also to assist the work of several professionals who guide people with mental health problems, such as psychologists, psychiatrists, in addition to being a solution that can save many lives, people with no financial means to carry out a treatment and also do not let healthy people to have problems with mental health, and not aggravate the cases of patients who already undergo treatment for some type of mental illness.
