Human factors engineering.
We apply rigorous human factors engineering — from FDA-compliant usability testing to cognitive task analysis — to reduce use errors, improve performance under pressure, and accelerate regulatory approval.

The User Experience, Reimagined.
Engineering safety into the systems lives depend on.
Based in Austin. Human Factors specialists in MedTech, Healthcare, and Safety-Critical UX.
Kognio Labs embeds safety-critical thinking into AI to improve reliability in high-stakes environments.
Safety in AI systems.
We embed human factors and interpretability to ensure mission-critical AI remains understandable and reliable — from robotaxis to robotic surgery.
Mission-driven support.
We embed safety-critical thinking into MedTech, healthcare workflows, and autonomous systems. We help organizations build systems that clinicians, surgeons, pilots, and operators can trust when it matters most.
Cross-domain expertise.
Human factors for electronic flight bags, crew check-in, cockpit displays, crew workflows, and pilot decision-support — applying the same safety-critical rigor that shaped modern aviation to medical devices and clinical workflows.
Examples of our work
Surgical robotics consoles, electronic health record (EHR) workflows for state healthcare agencies, and AI decision-support systems — Kognio Labs guides organizations to build safety-critical, user-centered systems trusted by experts.
A partnership for impact
We partner with teams from concept through scale — guiding the prototyping, launch, and iteration of breakthrough systems. Our approach prioritizes seamless human–computer interaction and safety-focused design in every detail.
