Mental fatigue: measured, not only felt

Mental fatigue is hard to put into words and easy to underestimate. SPARK measures how it builds over a task, a day or a period, from brain activity and physiology.

01 · What it measures

What the platform measures

Onset

The moment vigilance starts to drop.

Build-up

How fatigue accumulates across a task or a day.

Mental or physical

Mental fatigue told apart from physical tiredness, brain and heart read together.

02 · What it brings

A measurement to talk about fatigue

Fatigue is usually described with words and questionnaires. A curve measured in real conditions gives a common reference to the person and to those who follow them.

Followed over time, it shows what tires, what restores, and how that changes.

Fatigue, made visible.
