Resilience Engineering Principles

Meaning

Resilience Engineering Principles are a set of applied concepts focused on proactively designing systems and interventions that enhance an individual’s capacity to anticipate, cope with, and recover rapidly from physiological and psychological stressors. In the health domain, this involves building robust reserves in the endocrine, immune, and nervous systems to maintain stable function despite significant internal or external challenges. The objective is to prevent system collapse and minimize allostatic load.
