Core offering

Vocadian sells a voice AI-powered B2B SaaS platform that conducts predictive fatigue assessment and drowsiness window forecasting for frontline workers in safety-critical industries. The platform is accessed through a 30-second pre-shift speech task on existing devices, requires no additional hardware, and produces fatigue prediction scores that feed a fleet management dashboard (Vocadrive) for compliance tracking, workforce benchmarking, and risk mitigation.

Product overview

Vocadian offers a unified B2B SaaS platform for predictive fatigue risk management targeting high-stakes operations. The core product consists of the Vocadian Platform for voice-based fatigue assessment, the Vocadrive Fleet Manager Dashboard for team management, and a 30-Second Pre-Shift Speech Assessment module for rapid fitness-for-duty screening. These components work together through voice AI to enable predictive analytics, compliance tracking, and real-time drowsiness window prediction—without requiring additional hardware. The platform is designed for safety-critical industries including transportation, logistics, mining, construction, aviation, and healthcare, with planned expansion into alcohol/substance detection and occupational disease prediction.
