dr. T. Dekkers (Tessa)

Tessa Dekkers is a lecturer at the department of Psychology, Health and Technology. She wrote her PhD-thesis 'Data-driven Patient Profiles: Definition, validation, and implementation for tailored orthopaedic healthcare services' at the department of Industrial Design at Delft University of Technology.

Tessa enjoys interdisciplinary research and draws inspiration from her broad training in (health-) psychology and design science. Her main research interests include the role of personalisation and customization in intervention design, patient experience, and eHealth implementation. She is also a self-identified data and methodology geek and will spend many a night coding online field experiments or predictive models. As an avid fan of personalized media and amateur film critic, she maintains the website filmoftheday.nl to help users find tailored movie recommendations in her spare time.
