To bolster safety and optimize shipboard operations, the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC) chose to leverage ŌURA during deployment. Having worked with the US Navy for 5 years, supporting research on the importance of sleep for sailors, we continue to stand behind their mission to combat fatigue and support first responders worldwide in getting the sleep they need.
SURFPAC and a team of scientists from Naval Health Research Center (NHRC) are issuing rings to Sailors to wear during their upcoming deployment. The purpose of this study is to collect sleep data using commercially available sleep tracking devices to develop a fatigue management system. This pilot is part of a wide-scale feasibility assessment to inform the development of our wearables policy, risk assessment, and fatigue management systems. This study aims to improve safe and effective shipboard operations.
