Our lab designs the future of healthcare by placing people at the center of technology. We integrate human factors, usability, user-centered design, systems engineering, and emerging technologies to improve how individuals interact with complex systems across domains. Our work focuses on enhancing training, education, user experience, safety, and performance by grounding innovation in real human needs and capabilities. Through rigorous research and interdisciplinary collaboration, we bridge the gap between advanced technology and real-world use, creating solutions that are usable, trustworthy, and impactful in practice.
