Victoria Bruno

Victoria Bruno is a University Researcher in the Department of Industrial Design at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), specializing in human-centered AI applications for medical imaging. Her work bridges industrial design principles with clinical healthcare innovation, focusing on user trust in AI-assisted diagnostic systems.

Her research spans Medical Imaging, Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare, and Human-Computer Interaction, with particular emphasis on lung cancer detection workflows. She investigates how design interventions like expectation management and model transparency influence radiologists' adoption of AI tools in computed tomography analysis, addressing critical human factors in medical AI deployment.

Her 2024 publication in JMIR AI demonstrates how transparent AI interfaces significantly improve radiologists' trust and utilization patterns for lung nodule assessment, revealing nuanced interactions between system design and clinical decision-making. This work establishes foundational principles for designing trustworthy AI in high-stakes medical environments.

Bruno actively contributes to the MEDical Engineering, Innovations and Applications project (2022-2027), a third-tier funded initiative involving cross-institutional collaboration with the E/MTIC Oncology Collaborative Group. Her role encompasses human factors research within a multidisciplinary team of medical engineers, oncologists, and AI specialists focused on translating engineering innovations into clinical oncology applications.
