After graduating in Nursing, Mercedes Fraile Bravo decided to continue strengthening her vocation of service by continuing her specialization, for which she developed a doctoral thesis on water as a primary anthropological factor in historical care. Since then, she has not stopped her interest in research to improve the care of patients with renal pathology and on dialysis. 

She has promoted the study of a new instrument to measure dietary knowledge in patients with diabetes, through psychometric tests of CoNOCidiet-Diabetes, which demonstrates the great value she gives to innovation.
