The Optalert Eagle Portables wearable fatigue monitor systems are specifically designed for a professional mobile workforce and can operate in a field study environment. Optalert's drowsiness detection glasses work by measuring the amplitude velocity ratio of the operator's eyelid 500 times a second using a tiny invisible LED built into the frame of a pair of safety glasses. These ratios are translated into a score measured on the Johns Drowsiness Scale (JDS ^TM), which the operator sees displayed on their indicator or processor positioned in the cab. Other fatigue monitoring systems considered by NIOSH project officers were found to work subjectively, and react after an incident has occurred or an operator has already entered the state of drowsiness. While these systems can respond quickly, it still takes an incident to illicit any such response. The Optalert Eagle Portables wearable fatigue monitor systems use scientifically-proven technology to actually determine when an incident of drowsiness is likely to occur.
