Team led by Wachs and Yu wins Distinguished Interdisciplinary Research Award
Recent MSIE graduate, Juan Antonio Barragan, and Daniela Chanci Arrubla won the RSJ/KROS Distinguished Interdisciplinary Research Award at IEEE's RO-MAN 2021 for their work, titled "SACHETS: Semi-Autonomous Cognitive Hybrid Emergency Teleoperated Suction".
HEAL and Nursing collaboration publishes paper on pandemic impacts on nurse decision-making
Congrats Nick (HEAL PhD student), Megan (HEAL undergraduate), and nursing team!
No upcoming events.
Welcome to the Healthcare Ergonomics Analytics Lab (HEAL)!
Our current research links the areas of musculoskeletal injuries, intervention design and assessment, and sensing-based exposure measurements with applications in improving the safety in healthcare environments for both patients and medical professionals. On-going research thrusts include:
- Sensing-based modeling of physical and cognitive workload
- Design and assessment of interventions to reduce workload and improve human performance
- Developing objective and automated assessment metrics for simulation-based clinical training
- Big data approaches for modeling human behaviors in healthcare delivery
Interested? Please contact me - I look forward to talking with you.
