Nicole E. Werner studies how to make healthcare safer and easier to navigate by applying human factors and ergonomics, the science of designing systems and tools around the people who use them. Her work focuses on vulnerable populations such as older adults, people living with dementia, family caregivers, and children with complex medical needs, often examining care settings like emergency departments, homes, and hospitals. A recurring approach is co-design, where patients and caregivers help shape the tools and processes meant to serve them.
