Hi, my name is Kelli Sum. With my background in human factors and industrial & systems engineering, I collaborate with others designing improved tools and processes and quantifying their financial, physical, cognitive, and socio-technical impact. I have consulted on, provided training for, or conducted research on projects in medical devices, user interfaces, and physical ergonomics.

As medical devices are becoming more technologically advanced, incorrect use could have disastrous impacts on a patient's health and safety. I conduct research for a $401,000 grant sponsored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on training decay of medical device and combination products.
Patients can recover from surgeries quicker and get back to their lives through minimally invasive, robotic surgery. For a User Research internship at Intuitive, I combined my quantitative skill sets with qualitative research methods to develop a set of meaningful findings that shaped the company's view of a valued user group.
Nearly 45% of people that experienced cardiac arrest outside of the hospital survived when a bystander administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), according to 2014 data from the American Heart Association. For a class project, my team conducted usability tests of a first aid mobile application to identify use errors and make UX design recommendations.
