About
Dr. Jodi Oakman is a leading researcher at the intersection of occupational health, human factors, and emerging technology, with a primary focus on workplace stress management and musculoskeletal health. Her most cited work, "A Robot Assisted Stress Management Framework: Using Conversation to Measure Occupational Stress" (2018, 26 citations), pioneers a novel approach to measuring occupational stress by integrating conversational agents—chatbots and robots—with the Sense of Coherence model. This framework targets high-stress sectors like healthcare, offering a scalable, technology-driven method for early stress detection and intervention. Beyond this, Oakman has made substantial contributions to understanding work-related musculoskeletal disorders, particularly through her research on organizational risk factors and the development of participatory ergonomics programs. Her work is widely cited for its practical implications in redesigning work systems to enhance worker well-being and productivity. With over 1,500 total citations, Oakman’s research has influenced policy and practice in occupational health and safety, earning her recognition as a thought leader in the field. Her innovative blending of robotics with psychosocial assessment marks a significant step toward personalized, technology-enabled workplace health interventions.
