Iphone app manages fatigue

An Iphone app has been developed that manages fatigue of flight crew. "The predictions are based on the Boeing Alertness Model developed jointly by Boeing and Jeppesen, which is based on a modified version of the long-validated Three Process Model of Alertness. This contains circadian and homeostatic components to yield predicted alertness.
The modular design of the fatigue risk management solution, however, allows operators to make use of alternative alertness models if desired.An iPhone application based on the Boeing Alertness Model called CrewAlert has also been released by Jeppesen. Available in the Apple App Store for $19.99, CrewAlert is billed as "the first app designed specifically to help airlines and their crews manage alertness and fatigue".
This is an interesting development and maybe we in the chemical industry can use a similar type of app for managing worker fatigue!
