An iPhone application that scores someone's fatigue level will be made available in Australia on touch-screen kiosks at service stations, rest stops on highways, truck depots and selected work sites, reports International Business Times in its IBTHealth section.
The calculator developed by former hospitality worker Natalie Tindale and Professor Drew Dawson, director of the Centre for Sleep Research at the University of South Australia, will sell as an iPhone app for less than $50 at iTunes beginning September.
The application's ability to score one's fatigue level and recommend the corresponding amount of sleep before working or driving could help reduce road and workplace accidents related to lack of sleep.
