Research summary
AI-generated

Jackie Cha's research applies human factors and ergonomics methods to healthcare settings, focusing on how people interact with technology like surgical robots, exoskeletons, and clinical decision-support systems. Topics span robotic-assisted surgery safety and workflow, simulation-based training, and workplace interventions such as exoskeletons and sit-stand desks to reduce physical strain among workers and clinicians. The work often uses scoping reviews, case studies, and mixed-methods evaluations to understand how systems, environments, and teams affect patient care and worker well-being.
