Docket #: S22-372
Wearable device to assess fatigue
Stanford researchers have created a novel wearable device and system to assess fatigue on the user based on electrical activity associated with an eye blink of the subject.
Fatigue, particularly while operating a vehicle or working in a workplace, can pose health and safety concerns for an individual and the surrounding environment. This invention provides a real-time assessment and feedback on fatigue status of the user and includes a headset that alerts the subject of their condition, provides measures to keep the subject alert, and communicates the subject's condition to a command center.
