SafeNoise‎

door | nov 7, 2011 | Apps, Wearables

Ongemerkt word je vaak blootgesteld aan harde geluiden en hoge geluidniveaus.
Om je bewust te maken van het gevaar van te hard geluid, is de applicatie SafeNoise voor de iPhone ontwikkeld. Met de app meet je het geluidniveau in dB(A). Je ziet zowel het gemiddelde, als het maximale en momentane geluidniveau. Gelijktijdig geeft de app aan hoe lang je in dat geluidniveau mag verblijven voordat het geluidniveau schadelijk kan worden.
In de app is uitgegaan van de standaard gevoeligheid van de iPhone. De app bevat de mogelijkheid om je iPhone te kalibreren en dus beter af te stemmen op het werkelijke geluidniveau. Je hebt daarvoor wel een geschikte geluidmeter nodig.
Je meetresultaten kun je opslaan in het geluiddagboek en bekijken door middel van grafieken. Je kunt je meetresultaten ook mailen om te verwerken in andere programma’s.
Tip: gebruik geen leestekens in de omschrijving bij je grafiek. Dat geeft rare resultaten. De grafiek software kan er niet goed mee omgaan.
Disclaimer: het gebruik van de app is geheel voor eigen risico. Wij, noch de makers van deze app, aanvaarden op geen enkele wijze enige aansprakelijkheid voor schade die mogelijkerwijs direkt of indirekt ontstaat door het gebruik van deze app.

Fatigue Calculator Corporate‎

door | nov 7, 2011 | Apps

The Fatigue Calculator forecasts the likelihood of fatigue over a 24-hour period. Based on Prior Sleep Wake Algorithm, it is a international fatigue assessor that is legally and scientifically defensible; and is endorsed by Centre for Sleep Research and the University of South Australia.
This is the corporate version of the Fatigue Calculator and requires a user name and password from www.fatiguecalculator.com.au. Once you have registered, data can be sent to the listed email address and the Fatigue Manager reporting system. Registering usernames and passwords is $24.95. (Fatigue Manager reporting will be available mid-2011)
You can also download a version of the Fatigue Calculator that does not collect data for $4.99.
When used at the beginning of a work shift, the Fatigue Calculator will forecast what an individual’s fatigue score will be for their entire shift and commute home. This allows for planned management of fatigue in the workplace without negatively impacting on production or operations. The Fatigue Calculator is currently being used by corporations and governments all over the world including the United States Army, United Pacific Railroad, Queensland Rail, BHB Billiton and Qantas.
Features
•Simple and easy to use
•Use default settings or change Fatigue Threshold scores relevant to risk nature of task.
•Forecast Fatigue Likelihood for up to 72 hours, especially useful for on-call rosters when shift length is unknown.
•Determine your fatigue likelihood by inputting your shift beginning, end or travel time.
•Outputs include a Fatigue Graph and Fatigue Roster
•GPS data collection determines the location of the user at time of fatigue assignment, particularly useful in transportation industries.
•Data can be emailed from iPhones to personal or supervisor’s accounts for notification of fatigue status during shift.
•Date sent will include GPS location, time fatigue zones were changed and what answers were given to each question.
•The app will continue to work without internet access, but will not be able to sent data to the Fatigue Manager
