TIREX® Technology
Sleep loss and prolonged wakefulness leave biochemical traces in our bodies.
While symptoms of fatigue can be temporarily masked by the use of stimulants such as caffeine, the body's original signals remain unchanged, stadily increase, and reappear once the stimulating effect wears off.
Therefore, endogenous fatigue-signaling metabolites act as biomarkers and can be used to objectively identify fatigued individuals despite outward appearance.
TIREX® technology is based on a dozen biomarkers selected from tens of thousands of candidate biomarkers as part of thousands of analytical measurements.
TIREX® biomarker levels are compared with reference levels collected from more than 1000 individuals under various sleepiness states, ranging from well-rested to
extremely fatigued.
TIREX® results can be expressed as:
🔸 probability score to a verified reference
🔸 accumulated hours of wakefulness
Some tasks pose a higher risk of fatigue than others. The signal threshold of TIREX® can be adjusted acoording to the specific requirements of the intended application.
