IQonboard integrates app to monitor crew health
Canadian aviation technology company IQonboard has made fatigue assessments of helicopter crews available in its mobile app
The IQonboard AlertMeter is a non-invasive way to instantly make sure that employees are fit for flight. Although fatigue assessment is the primary function, this app can also indicate the onset of illness, a critical function during a pandemic.
The IQonboard AlertMeter scoring algorithm compares each person’s daily results with a pre-existing personal baseline. The system can also be used to detect subtle deviation in alertness levels for high-performance tasks. Based on systems developed by Bowles-Langley technology, this fatigue assessment app is an indicator of employee alertness in real time. The system can be used across an organization every day to filter for potential impairment in workers, providing opportunities for self-awareness and managerial intervention and further action when necessary.
As managers are already stretched to the limit during this challenging time, IQonboard AlertMeter can help by notifying them when employees may need some help today. It also gives employees a tool to stay in tune with their ability to stay focused on the job and take appropriate actions when they are scoring outside of their normal range.
Vincent Hoog, CEO at IQonboard, commented: “We are proud to provide tools and products that empower organizations to collect safety-based data and turn that into an operational advantage. And being able to offer this 60 second mobile best-in-class fatigue and wellness test in our aviation app empowers operators and crew to monitor health and trends that will not only indicate fatigue but also the onset of illness. We are excited to be able to help operators during this recovery phase.”
