The Mitchell Lab
A research group at the University of Colorado Anschutz working at the intersection of human-computer interaction, clinical AI, and health informatics.
A research group at the University of Colorado Anschutz working at the intersection of human-computer interaction, clinical AI, and health informatics.
We design, build, and evaluate intelligent systems that make healthcare safer, more efficient, and more human-centred. Our work is grounded in user-centred design principles and evaluated through rigorous, mixed-methods research in real clinical environments.
