معرفی
Fokeltje Cnossen is an Associate Professor at the University of Groningen with dual appointments in the Faculty of Science and Engineering (Department of Artificial Intelligence) and the Faculty of Medical Sciences (UMCG) through the Lifelong Learning, Education & Assessment Research Network (LEARN). Her work integrates Cognitive Psychology, Human Factors, and Artificial Intelligence to enhance patient safety, medical technology design, and clinical education.
Her research prioritizes optimizing patient safety through cognitive engineering of medical systems, with focus areas including trustworthy AI implementation, stress/workload impact on clinical performance, and medical skill acquisition pedagogy. Key specialties span mental fatigue mitigation, usability evaluation, and autonomy in healthcare systems, contributing directly to UN Sustainable Development Goals for health and wellbeing.
Recent publications reveal strong interdisciplinary convergence: AI-driven surgical planning tools (e.g., 3D fracture reduction visualization), physiological workload monitoring in cardiac surgery, and policy analyses of physician wellness frameworks. Her work bridges computer science, surgical practice, and healthcare administration with consistent patient-safety outcomes.
Scientific Awards:
- Best Teacher Award - Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (2010)
Dr. Cnossen supervises graduate research through the LEARN network and maintains active professional engagement, including keynote presentations at the Max Planck Institute of Human Cognition & Brain Sciences and Dutch Vascular Courses. Her team focuses on translating cognitive science into clinical safety improvements through the LEARN research consortium.
