Patent number: 10905372Abstract: An alertness prediction bio-mathematical model for use in devices such as a wearable device that improves upon previous models of predicting fatigue and alertness by gathering data from the individual being monitored to create a more accurate estimation of alertness levels. The bio-mathematical model may be a two-process algorithm which incorporates a sleep-wake homeostasis aspect and a circadian rhythm aspect. The sleep-wake homeostasis aspect of the model is improved by using actigraphy measures in conjunction with distal skin, ambient light and heart rate measures to improve the accuracy of the sleep and wake estimations. The circadian rhythm model aspect improves fatigue prediction and estimation by using distal skin, heart rate and actigraphy data. The sleep-wake homeostasis and circadian rhythm aspects may also be combined with additional objective and subjective measures as well as information from a user to improve the accuracy of the alertness estimation even further.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2020Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: CURAEGIS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Matt Kenyon, Colin Payne-Rogers, Josh Jones

Patent number: 10339781Abstract: Methods and apparatus for monitoring fatigue and notifying an individual are described. The individual may be an operator of a vehicle, equipment, or machine, a student, or other person that may experience fatigue. Motion of the individual is monitored to detect a predescribed motion in response to a stimulus to first determine a base responsiveness profile. Afterwards, a current responsiveness profile is determined based on a prescribed motion in response to a stimulus, and if the current responsiveness profile exceeds a predetermined threshold of the base responsiveness profile, a notification is issued to the individual and, optionally, another person such as an employer, teacher, or parent.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2018Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: CurAegis Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Richard A. Kaplan, Douglas A. Hemink, Matt Kenyon
