Augmented Cognition or how to enhance human information-processing capabilities

Creating augmented cognition systems for healthcare providers and patients with chronic conditions, she is working on systems that do a better job of presenting and organizing information for doctors and healthcare professionals to enhance human cognition rather than replacing it.  These systems have three primary components: the sensing element, the analytic element, and the feedback element. Robust analytics is the cornerstone of the system. She uses both machine learning models and biomechanically-inspired structural models to develop this systems
