The professional fields of activity of a HEN (Human Enhancement) Engineer include:
Problem analysis and understanding: HEN Engineers work closely with domain experts (e.g., from industry, healthcare, etc.) to understand the task that needs to be solved. They gather requirements, analyze whether and how a task can be solved using HEN technologies, and if so, whether there are suitable ready-made HEN components or if a custom solution based on HEN technologies needs to be developed.
Data collection and evaluation: Part of the HEN Engineer's work is to collect, evaluate, clean, and structure relevant data and requirements. The quality of the data and the assessment in and for the application domain directly affects the effectiveness and acceptance of the developed models for problem-solving.
Concept creation: HEN Engineers support the design of product development and further development, with a specific focus on the target groups and requirements from the application domains.
Processes: HEN Engineers assess and support which models and processes are suitable for achieving a problem-solving solution. The developed concepts must be tested and then integrated into real environments and validated to ensure they can be used correctly.
Optimization and fine-tuning: HEN Engineers continuously optimize their HEN solutions in collaboration with clients and users. This can include adjusting parameters, applying regulations, or implementing new techniques to improve the quality and efficiency of the solutions.
Integration and implementation: HEN Engineers support the integration and implementation of HEN components or products/systems into real-world applications and domains. This often requires collaboration with engineers from other disciplines and experts from various application domains such as social and healthcare systems, educational institutions, or business sectors.
Monitoring and maintenance: After implementation, HEN Engineers continuously monitor the performance of the products/systems to ensure they continue to deliver correct and relevant results. If necessary, they perform regular updates and improvements.
