Systems Engineering

The Center for Remote Health Technologies and Systems (CRHTS) has a strong emphasis in systems engineering. This focuses on designing the remote health system to function under realistic environmental, regulatory and market conditions to successfully serve the needs of all stakeholders and to be reliable and productive throughout the complete life cycle. Researchers involved with systems engineering deal with issues related to scaling for population health such as usability, manufacturability, quality, cost, reliability, maintenance and risk management. CRHTS personnel includes engineers, computer scientists and psychologists with expertise in engineering design, advanced manufacturing, logistics and supply chain, human factors and behavioral science, cognitive science and engineering, operations research, simulation modeling and organizational theory. The center’s system design emphasis supports the triple aim of improving the experience of care, improving the health of populations, and reducing per capita costs of health care.
