Dr. Sasangohar’s "Why"
My dedication to the field of healthcare human factors and safety stems from a fervent commitment to optimizing the intersection of technology, human cognition, and organizational processes to enhance patient outcomes, reduce errors, and cultivate a culture of safety within healthcare systems.

Favorite project
My favorite project involved applying human factors methodologies to improve mental health outcomes of various vulnerable populations. Mental health is a fundamental pillar of overall well-being, and it is an area in need of innovative approaches. We collaborated closely with a diverse array of individuals, including experts, clinicians, and those with invaluable lived experiences including college students, nurses navigating the pandemic, and combat veterans grappling with PTSD. Their insights ensured that our solutions were firmly rooted in empathy, compassion, and a profound understanding of the intricacies of human factors. The findings showed significant improvements in mental health when those affected were empowered to self-manage using digital tools and technologies.
