Anton is a PhD Candidate in human factors, and works with Associate Professor Denny Yu in the Healthcare Ergonomics and Analytics Lab (HEAL). Anton's dissertation is titled "Wearable Sensing to Assess Nurses' Situation Awareness: Development of a Fundamental Understanding of Patient Deterioration Recognition."

 

Anton's research explores how novice nurses can be better supported in recognizing early signs of patient deterioration, a critical factor in preventing delays in life-saving care, and aims to understand the cognitive processes behind nurses’ situation awareness and develop a real-time, sensor-based support system to enhance decision-making in clinical environments.
