About
Amanda Johnson is a leading researcher in the fields of surgical ergonomics, human factors, and team dynamics in robot-assisted surgery (RAS). Her work critically examines how technological advancements in the operating room impact surgeon performance, cognitive load, and team coordination. In her highly cited 2017 study, "Anticipation, teamwork and cognitive load: chasing efficiency during robot-assisted surgery," Johnson demonstrated that anticipation of surgical steps and team familiarity are crucial for reducing cognitive strain and improving workflow efficiency in RAS environments. This paper, with 96 citations, has become foundational for understanding the non-technical skills required in modern, technology-dense surgical settings. Johnson’s contributions have helped bridge the gap between engineering design and clinical practice, highlighting the importance of human-centered approaches in surgical innovation. Her research is widely referenced by medical educators, robotic system designers, and surgical teams seeking to optimize performance and patient safety. Through her work, Johnson has established herself as a key voice in the movement to make robot-assisted surgery not only more precise, but also more intuitive and team-oriented.
