Guest lecture topic:
In our lust to measure, we often measure what is easy rather than what we want: A warning to ergonomists
This is a warning to occupational ergonomists that in our desire to do ergonomics evaluations of jobs, we often choose to measure what is easy, as opposed to what we want to know. As work becomes more complex, better exposure metrics will need to be developed. Today's innovations include technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), integrated sensing, and computer vision. New technologies will undoubtedly bring better exposure metrics that will likely arise from the ability to more readily measure, collect, and process exposures in the workplace. Researchers are starting to utilize these technologies for measuring exposures, offering more precision and reliability, and less so for accuracy or validity. We explore these issues and suggest directions for future advances in musculoskeletal disorder prevention and interventions.
