Pyxis for Humans is part of the deep humanistic spirit of Pyxis. It leverages expertise and knowledge in technology and develops synergies with psychology, neuroscience, communication, and sociology. The goal: to promote human and social well-being. The Casagrande School of Human Development (Edhuca) emerges as a fundamental ally on this journey, and that’s how our alliance comes to be.

Edhuca was founded in 2016, with its roots going back ten years to Casagrande. It is a space that proposes, supports, and accompanies personal and professional training activities designed for learning, experience, and self-awareness.

Diego Sastre, CEO of Pyxis, embarked on a personal journey with Edhuca in his training as a Counselor. Convinced that technology has much to contribute to human well-being, he decides to invest in a synergy that soon began to bear fruit.

«Our alliance arises from mutual interest in the well-being and human development of our collaborators, the environment, and the community. We position ourselves as agents of social change. Focused on people from the beginning. And today, we seek to enhance all our experience and knowledge in information technologies to develop synergies with disciplines such as psychology, neuroscience, or sociology,» explains Diego.

Solidarity Link: a chatbot that provides assistance.

The Pyxis-Edhuca alliance allows us to explore various types of activities and solutions. Solidarity Link is a first example of the power of this alliance.

With the pandemic, Edhuca decided to offer an active listening service to people experiencing distress during quarantine. Pyxis invested in artificial intelligence and developed a chatbot that connects people seeking help with institutions that provide assistance via WhatsApp.

«What do all people have? A cellphone. What do they all use? WhatsApp. We decided to channel the help through that platform. We implemented artificial intelligence and started listening to people’s distress, connecting them with psychological advisors, many of whom are counselors. We provided assistance to hundreds of people, and that is very rewarding for us,» explains Diego.

Other experiences.

«In addition to Solidarity Link, thanks to this alliance, we have created other milestones that we call ‘pearls.’ One of these pearls was sponsoring the online seminar on Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) with Robert Dilts, one of the foremost experts in the field. It was a unique opportunity to delve into this discipline that seeks to explain how our brain operates and define its mental patterns to facilitate self-awareness and processes of change.

The latest ‘pearl’ of the alliance was the Dance Meditation experience, a virtual dance meditation that many people joined from different corners. It was an innovative, enjoyable, and well-being experience to strengthen the commitment to taking care of each other.
