Enid Montague is a prominent American scholar and researcher in the fields of human factors engineering, health informatics, and human-computer interaction. Montague is currently an associate professor of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Ontario Canada. She was formerly a professor of health informatics and the director of the Wellness and Health Enhancement Engineering Laboratory (WHEEL) in the college of computing at DePaul University, Chicago, United States.[1] She is also an adjunct professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.[1] Her work is focused on human centered automation in medicine, specifically the role of trust of both patient and employees in the healthcare ecosystem and new technologies in medicine, such as artificial intelligence and electronic health records.[1] She leverages human factors and human-computer interaction methodologies to inform her work with the goal of creating and improving medical technology that is patient-centered.[2]

Early life and education
editMontague was born in Yorktown, Virginia.[3][4] Her interest in technology and computer science began in her youth as a Girl Scout and Explorer Scout, one of the first coed scouting programs in Boy Scouts of America and through her experiences at NASA-Langley.[4] Montague completed a bachelor's degree in psychology at Old Dominion University where she began 'human factors' research with her college professor.[4] Montague finished her MS and PhD degrees in industrial and systems engineering from Virginia Tech in 2008.
Research
editMontague’s research has significantly impacted the field of healthcare by integrating principles of human factors engineering into the design of medical systems. Her work aims to reduce medical errors, enhance patient safety, and improve the overall efficiency of healthcare delivery. She has published extensively in top-tier journals and has received numerous grants and awards for her research.
One of her notable contributions is her research on the usability of electronic health records (EHRs). Montague has explored how the design of EHRs affects healthcare providers' workflow and patient care. Her findings have informed the development of more intuitive and efficient EHR systems.
Montague's doctoral thesis, "Understanding Trust in Medical Technology: Using the Example of Obstetrics" identified 30 factors of trust in medical technology and distinguishes trust in technology from trust in medical technology resulting in an 80 item instrument to measure trust in medical technology which adds to the limited breadth of research on trust in medical advances.[4] She has contributed over 100 publications (>2,000 citations) to the field of health informatics including work on human-computer interaction, health information technology, human factors and ergonomics, consumer health technology, and trust.[5]
Journalism
editMontague writes on medical technology and is a contributing author at U.S. News & World Report.[6] She has also contributed opinions and editorials for Scientific American,[7] Muck Rack,[8] and DX Latest.[9]
