I am currently involved in the development of an innovative virtual reality test to ecologically assess episodic memory in the elderly. This ongoing project relies on scenarios close to daily life, particularly in therapeutic kitchens, to offer an immersive alternative to traditional tests.

Thanks to the funding obtained through the AAP Prématuration 2023, I coordinated the initial stages of the project: acquisition of necessary equipment, definition of specifications, and development of an initial simulation using Unity. My role as Product Manager involves structuring the project, organizing production phases, and planning the tests that will soon be conducted with a senior population.

This work is also expected to eventually lead to recommendations on the use of virtual reality in supporting seniors, opening new perspectives in this field.

I developed a tablet application for healthcare professionals in geriatrics. This application integrates the MAI memory test, designed by neuroscientist Dr. Myriam Noël, with the aim of facilitating the detection of memory disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, in seniors.

The project was entrusted to me by Prof. Marion Luyat, director of the PSITEC laboratory, to transpose the test into a digital format, optimized for quick and intuitive use by practitioners.

Supported by the University of Lille, this project received the MESHS valorization prize in 2020.

I worked with the PSITEC laboratory and research unit in developing flyers, logos, and PowerPoint presentations.
