From Research to Real Life: Transforming the Opportunity for Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease with i-Function

When healthcare entrepreneur Peter Kallestrup co-founded i-Function®, he set out with a clear mission: to take powerful innovations confined to academic research and make them widely accessible tools for real-world cognitive health improvements. "What if we could leverage all that incredible research being done in universities and make it available so that it can benefit people in the real world?" Kallestrup asked. That question became the foundation of a company designed not just to innovate, but to democratize access to cognitive care.

i-Function® is led by Kallestrup alongside two highly regarded academics, Dr. Philip D. Harvey, an expert in mental health and cognition, and Dr. Sarah J. Czaja, a leading authority in functional skills and aging research. Together, they have played a significant role in developing two flagship products: LASSI-D® and FUNSAT®. The former is a digital cognitive assessment tool; the latter, a digital functional skills assessment and training platform. While both serve different purposes, they both play a role in the process of assessing and supporting cognitive health.
