Alícia’s mission is to provide practical and realistic solutions, grounded in scientific evidence and culturally adapted to each need, health condition, or life situation. We achieve this, through cooking as a tool and scientific rigour as a method, combining culinary creativity with innovation tools.
Our way of working is built on more than twenty years of experience and a multidisciplinary approach that brings together scientists from both the experimental and social sciences, working alongside gastronomists and chefs, including both creative professionals and specialists in community catering and traditional cuisine.
We work with all stakeholders involved in food management, including primary producers, food manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, catering services, restaurants and healthcare professionals (physicians, nurses, speech and language therapists, and dietitians-nutritionists), as well as hospitals, leading organizations, universities and technology centres. We also collaborate with end users, caregivers, associations and other groups connected to the fields of food and health.
The goal of every project is to help everyone eat better (healthier, more sustainably and more enjoyably), recognizing that this depends on what is eaten, who eats it and their circumstances. Focused on this, we have developed the Alícia Index, an innovation and evaluation tool that helps improve and develop any food-related product, service or initiative.
The Alícia Index is a proprietary tool for analysis, innovation and evaluation that enables us to understand, improve and measure the impact of any food product, service or strategy based on its characteristics, its target audience and the context in which it is used. This unique method identifies opportunities for improvement, guides innovation and evaluates its results.
