Current Work

Currently exploring psychophysiological responses to music accessed via digital platforms, harnessing the power of music as a potential biomarker and digital therapeutic for people living with non-memory-led dementias.

Vision

To reduce the scale and impact of dementia, Emilie believes we must not only co-develop cost-effective diagnostic capabilities, therapeutic tools, and models of support, but improve our understanding in how to balance personalised medicine with global scalability.

Strategy

Emilie is investigating physiological responses to music in people living with different dementias. These responses can reflect cognitive and emotional functioning, meaning music could act as a cost-effective mechanism to study neurological changes.

Impact

As an Atlantic Fellow, Emilie hopes to develop innovative digital measures of cognitive and emotional functioning, involving diverse methods of data collection. This will help to detect early changes in brain health and monitor dementia trajectories.

Motivation

By developing engaging and cost-effective measures of brain health, Emilie aims to improve the rates of condition-specific dementia diagnoses in the UK, where it is estimated one in three people with dementia do not have a diagnosis.
