BACKGROUND: Modeling with methods based on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence can help understand the complex relationships between ergonomic risk factors and employee health. The aim of this study was to use ML methods to estimate the...
Medical laboratory technicians play a significant role in clinical units by conducting diagnostic tests and analyses. However, their job nature involving repetitive motions, prolonged standing or sitting, etc., leads to potential ergonomic risks. Thi...
: Caregivers experience high rates of occupational injuries, especially during wheelchair transfers, which often result in back pain and musculoskeletal disorders due to the physical demands of lifting and repositioning. While mechanical floor lifts,...

OBJECTIVES: To highlight the often overlooked role of user interface (UI) design in mitigating bias in artificial intelligence (AI)-based clinical decision support (CDS).
Human Activity Recognition (HAR) using wearable sensors has prompted substantial interest in recent years due to the availability and low cost of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs). HAR using IMUs can aid both the ergonomic evaluation of the performed...
Emergency responders face significant human factors and ergonomic (HF/E) challenges related to physical, cognitive, emotional, and training demands during high-stress situations. This study investigates these issues through a survey of 60 emergency r...
Awkward postures are a significant contributor to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs), which represent great social and economic burdens. Various posture assessment tools assess WRMSD risk but fall short in providing an elucidating risk b...
Work-related injuries from overexertion, particularly lifting, are a major concern in occupational safety. Traditional assessment tools, such as the Revised NIOSH Lifting Equation (RNLE), require significant training and practice for deployment. This...
