Chantal holds a Master of Science (MSc) in Experimental Psychol- ogy, and a PhD in Cognitive/Medical Psychology. She is the kind of psychologist that is interested in normal behavior and function, as opposed to abnormal – the purview of counselors and psychiatrists. Her area of expertise is memory function and memory loss due to brain injury, pharmacological drugs, and normal as well as abnormal aging (dementia). Early in her career, Chantal led randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in academic medical centers. She was faculty at Emory University School of Medicine, and Emory College (Atlanta, GA). In 2010, Dr. Kerssens joined a digital health startup in the business incubator of the Georgia Institute of Technology (ATDC) to validate and commercialize one of the first digital therapeutics for dementia symptom management. She won the company a $1,2MM grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to iteratively develop and validate the product with end- users in preparation of business scaling and market expansion. Today, Chantal helps technology companies develop digital health applications that are evidence-based (scientific) and user- centered (friendly and easy-to-use).
