Application of eye tracking technology in Intensive Care Units

Naturalistic evaluation of nurses’ mental workload and stress

Webinar information

Intensive Care Units (ICUs) are characterized by high stress, workload, and continuous background noises from ICU technologies such as ventilators. While most ICU nursing studies explore workload with self-reported instruments, the emergence of cutting-edge technologies has provided a unique opportunity to conduct naturalistic studies in ICUs. Dr. Ahmadi presents the application of eye-tracking technology in the naturalistic evaluation of nurses' workload; we employed various eye movements metrics to examine the mental workload of nurses during day and night shifts as well as handoff periods.
