Hi. I'm Dr. Michael Boyce

Michael is an expert in Human Factors Engineering. What separates him from many is his extensive experience in computer science, data science, and modeling and simulation. He is also recognized for leveraging his personal experiences with a wheelchair to understand limitations, capabilities, and strengths, and applying these insights to strategic development.

Most of Michael’s career since he began in the federal government in 2007  has been spent making technologies easier to use for everyone. He recently founded Boyce Human Performance LLC, so he could branch out from government work and offer his expertise to startups, private corporations, universities, etc. in the Healthcare, Technology and Disability spaces.

Being a top-performing Human Factors Engineer, he is highly skilled in conducting qualitative and quantitative research and strategic planning to deliver process and systems improvements, fostering safety, risk mitigation, and increased productivity and comfort. He is also an expert at evaluating existing health systems quality improvement operations to identify inefficiencies, redundancies, and issues, innovating enhancements to optimize workflow, maintain internal controls, and drive team success.

Michael holds a PhD in Applied / Experimental Human Factors Psychology from the University of Central Florida, a MS in Human-Computer Interaction from the Georgia Institute of Technology and a BS in Science, Technology, and Culture from Georgia Institute of Technology.

A novel data solution for using wearable smart technology to measure physiologic stress

HRVEST is an algorithm that can successfully process enormous volumes of physiologic raw data generated by wearable smart garments and meet the specific needs of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analyses. HRVEST is a noise-filtering and data-processing algorithm that allows the precise measurements of HRV of clinicians working in an Emergency Department (ED). HRVEST automatically processed the biometric data derived from 413 electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings in just over 15 min. With HRVEST, using wearable smart garments to monitor HRV over long periods of time becomes logistically and feasibly viable for future studies.

Enhancing Military Training Using Extended Reality

This study which was a collaboration between the United States Military Academy, West Point, and the Army Futures Command Devcom Soldier Center, looking at how different display platforms (Microsoft HoloLens, 2D image projected down onto a military sand table, and a 2D tablet) assisted in making tactical decisions. The year-long study found that topographically-shaped surface increased the perceived usability of the interface and reduced cognitive load relative to the flat interface, but did not affect overall task performance (i.e., accuracy and response time). This shows that increasing fidelity and detail in a tactical scenario does not always equate to improved performance.
