The way people communicate with each other is constantly evolving. Before, everything was face-to-face and now the digital format prevails. The next step is to move to the virtual world based on immersion. This new modality also offers several useful functions and the best example is emoheads and his interest in mental health.
Current world panorama
The biggest mistake many people make is only focusing on their physical well-being. While the emotional part is left in the background or simply never attended to.
Sometimes it is thought that internal discomfort is temporary and can disappear after a short time. As a consequence, they never go to specialists and in the end that leads to something small evolving and becoming a bigger problem.
It is currently estimated that one in four people will suffer from a mental disorder throughout their lives. While by 2030 mental health problems will be the main cause of disability in the world.
Technology and mental health
All of the above motivated the graphic artist Javirroyo to create EmoHeads, the world’s first collection of NFT’s based on the mental health. It is made up of 10,000 animated heads that talk about the different emotions that people experience.
However, the Spanish creator of this initiative points out that all his creations are based on six basic emotions: happiness, surprise, fear, anger, disgust and sadness. He assures that absolutely all people experience them at some point in life and that is why anyone can identify.
For its part, the objective of the project is also to put the issue of mental illness in the public eye. With his work he hopes that more people pay attention to this area.
Physical health is also very important to mental health. Exercising builds discipline, releases endorphins, and improves self image! 💪🏼

The sale of the NFT’s will take place in the summer through an auction, although the minimum price will be 0.06 ethereums (around 110 euros) for each work. While 10 percent of sales will go to the NGO Open Arms. Her work focuses on mental health and migration.
What is an NFT?
The acronym corresponds to Non Fungible Token, that is, a non-fungible token. Tokens are units of value that are assigned to a business model, such as cryptocurrencies. Between the two there is a close relationship with cryptocurrencies, at least technologically.
The four main characteristics of NFTs is that they are unique, indivisible, transferable and with the ability to demonstrate their scarcity. While they are used to create verifiable digital scarcity, as well as provide digital ownership and the possibility of interoperability of assets across multiple platforms.
This new modality is becoming more and more popular due to the fact that multiple brands and artists have joined. The diversity of work is quite wide but the case of EmoHeads is unique and could be the beginning for more artists to also focus on mental health.
