Welcome to the Healthcare Ergonomics Analytics Lab (HEAL)!

Welcome to the Healthcare Ergonomics Analytics Lab (HEAL)!

Our current research links the areas of human factors engineering, biobehavioral sensing, and technology design, with applications in enhancing human performance across domains such as healthcare, manufacturing, and transportation. On-going research thrusts include:

1. Neuroadaptive systems for supporting human machine interaction

2. Interventions for enhancing user physical performance

3. Physiological and machine learning for modeling user real-time cognitive states

4. Biobehavioral sensing for automated non-technical team skills assessments

5. Computer vision, and artificial intelligence techniques for physical ergonomics

6. Big data analytics for understanding human health behaviors
