Areas and lines of research
The R+D+i work carried out by BioKeralty is carried out thanks to its participation in projects at a national and international level in collaboration with various strategic partners and entities. Our research work encompasses a wide variety of areas within which different lines of research and projects can be identified.
Community
BioKeralty develops a “partner role” in the community providing support, advice and assistance in the analysis of results derived from research, being the community, itself, the one who implements strategies to strengthen and improve life-quality and health conditions. BioKeralty helps in those research process carried out by different communities, generating and transferring knowledge referred to its lines of action. Thus, BioKeralty acts as a bridge between social and health under Keralty’s health model: health care, social care and community support.
To this end, BioKeralty works on actions that promote the social network within communities to reduce those factors that may increase individual and community vulnerability. Specifically, it provides support and stimulates community initiatives to strengthen the social network within communities and establish contact channels between the different population support networks. In addition, it also identifies, mobilizes and coordinates resources including health on the agendas of community organizations and promoting health actions. All these actions are carried out under a research perspective, but giving a relevant role to the community in order to know its social reality and making it to participate in the research process, an essential requirement to promote well-being at individual and community level.
