AHFE 2026 Opening Session and Keynote AddressTuesday, December 1, 2026 · 8:30–9:30 HST Room: Makai Ballroom 
Dr. Farzan SasangoharTexas A&M University, USAHuman-Centered AI and the Future of Digital HealthcarePlenary Keynote SummaryHealthcare is undergoing a transformation from episodic treatment to continuous, personalized, and proactive care. At the center of this transformation lies the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI), digital health technologies, and human-centered systems design. In this keynote, Dr. Farzan Sasangohar will explore how human-centered AI can support continuous monitoring and self-management of mental health and chronic conditions. Through examples from interdisciplinary research and applied healthcare innovation, the talk will highlight the development and evaluation of AI-enabled digital interventions designed to enhance accessibility, engagement, personalization, and clinical impact. The presentation will examine how intelligent systems can leverage wearable sensing, behavioral data, and adaptive analytics to provide real-time insights, personalized recommendations, and proactive support while maintaining usability, trust, and patient autonomy. Key challenges, including ethical AI, implementation barriers, privacy, explainability, and integration into healthcare workflows, will also be discussed. By bridging human factors engineering and AI, this keynote will outline a vision for the next generation of healthcare systems: systems that continuously support individuals, adapt to their needs, and place humans at the center of technological innovation. Speaker BioDr. Farzan Sasangohar is a Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering and Environmental and Occupational Health at Texas A&M University. He is the co-author of Design for Health: Applications of Human Factors in Healthcare and has authored over 110 peer-reviewed journal articles. He currently serves as the Editor-in-Chief of Human Factors in Healthcare and as the Secretary-Treasurer of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES). He has received numerous international awards for research, teaching, and service, including the Technical Innovations in IE and the Hamed K. Eldin Outstanding Early Career IE in Academia Award from the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE); the Jack A. Kraft Innovator Award, William C. Howell Young Investigator Award, and Bentzi-Karsh Early-Career Service Award from HFES; and the Kingfar Young Researcher Award from the International Ergonomics Association (IEA). Dr. Sasangohar’s research interests include digital health and monitoring tools aimed at workers’ physical and mental health and performance in sociotechnical systems. |
