Despite a growing body of literature on technology readiness level, scholars largely neglect the human readiness level portion of how human will interact with these new technologies especially in developing countries. This paper looks at the technology readiness level and human readiness level integration in the HIV\/AIDS healthcare delivery service environment in Malawi Africa due to the limited accessibility to advance technologies. The overall system readiness level to ensure that people that are living with HIV\/AIDS are getting access to treatment will be determine by the technology readiness level and the human readiness level.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of school, Ian managed the quality portfolios for Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, Gulfstream Aeronautics and Bombardier.\u00a0Ian enjoys mentoring students and collaborating with researcher across multiple disciplines.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-562 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/ieomsociety.org\/toronto2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Pamela.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"212\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ieomsociety.org\/toronto2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Pamela.jpg 200w, http:\/\/ieomsociety.org\/toronto2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Pamela-156x195.jpg 156w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/>Dr. Pamela McCauley<br \/>\n<\/strong>Program Director-Innovation Corps-National Innovation Network Sites Program (I-Corps Sites)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">National Science Foundation<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Professor and Director of the Ergonomics Laboratory<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Department of Industrial Engineering and Management Systems<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">University of Central Florida<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Pamela McCauley is a biomechanics expert, a Professor and Director of the Ergonomics Laboratory in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management Systems at the University of Central Florida, and an internationally acclaimed keynote speaker and popular author on a lifelong mission to increase diversity in Innovation and STEM.<\/p>\n<p>An award-winning educator often described as an outstanding professor and enthusiastic teacher, Dr. McCauley previously held the position of Martin Luther King, Jr. Visiting Associate Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
