What Fatigue Science does

Fatigue Science (legally Sleep Performance Inc., headquartered in Vancouver, BC with a satellite office in Seattle) is a private company founded in 2006 that builds predictive fatigue risk management software for safety-critical, shift-based industries. Its core offering, the Readi platform, applies the SAFTE (Sleep, Activity, Fatigue, and Task Effectiveness) biomathematical model — originally developed by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research and validated by the U.S. Department of Transportation — combined with AI-driven analysis of over six million data points to generate personalized fatigue risk scores (ReadiScore) for each operator, predicting fatigue up to 18 hours in advance. The platform operates with or without wearable hardware (ReadiWatch, ReadiBand) and functions without network connectivity, addressing surface, remote, and underground operations.

The product suite includes ReadiAnalytics, ReadiSupervise, ReadiManage, and ReadiSleep modules, alongside the FAST (Fatigue Avoidance Scheduling Tool) used by the U.S. military, an Instant Insights self-serve scheduling simulator, and a Developer API for OEM integration. Fatigue Science serves enterprise customers in mining (Orica, Lomas Bayas, Cobre Panama, First Quantum Minerals), transportation/fleet, oil & gas, utilities, the U.S. military, research, and elite sports, with offices covering North America, Latin America (Mexico), and APAC.

Revenue is generated primarily through annual SaaS subscriptions priced per authorized participant, complemented by hardware device sales (ReadiWatch, ReadiBand) and professional services delivered either directly or via Managed Service Provider channel partners. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales built around demo requests and pilot deployments, with a complementary product-led-growth entry point (Instant Insights) and an emerging developer/API channel. The company has raised minimal disclosed outside capital (~$400K cumulative across a 2009 Conconi Growth Partners investment and a 2020 NRC IRAP grant), suggesting a largely bootstrapped operating model.

Core offering

Fatigue Science (legal entity: Sleep Performance Inc.) develops and sells the Readi Platform, a 100% predictive fatigue management software that uses AI-powered analysis of over 6 million data points to forecast fatigue risk up to 18 hours in advance without requiring wearables or hardware. The platform is built on the SAFTE biomathematical model developed by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research and serves enterprise industrial customers with optional companion wearables (ReadiWatch, ReadiBand), scheduling tools (FAST, Instant Insights), and a Developer API.

Product overview

Fatigue Science offers a unified predictive fatigue management platform called Readi, which consists of multiple integrated modules: the core Readi Platform providing AI-powered predictive fatigue analytics, ReadiScore for personalized risk scoring up to 18 hours in advance, ReadiAnalytics for fleet/operation-wide trend analysis, ReadiSupervise for supervisor intervention tools, ReadiManage for administration, and ReadiSleep for sleep tracking. The platform operates with or without wearable devices (ReadiWatch, ReadiBand). Supporting products include FAST (Fatigue Avoidance Scheduling Tool) based on the SAFTE military algorithm for schedule optimization, Instant Insights for scheduling simulations, and a Developer API for third-party integrations. The ecosystem serves industries including Mining, Transportation/Fleet, Oil & Gas, Utilities, Military, Research, and Elite Sports.

Products and services

• Readi Platform The main predictive fatigue management software that provides real-time and forecasted fatigue risk assessments for workers. It is 100% predictive software requiring no wearables or hardware, using AI to analyze sleep history, circadian rhythms, and workload to predict fatigue risk for enterprise industrial workforces.
• FAST (Fatigue Avoidance Scheduling Tool) Fatigue modeling software based on the SAFTE algorithm developed by Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. Analyzes work schedules, commute times and sleep data to generate minute-by-minute performance predictions. Available free to active US military personnel.
• Instant Insights Fatigue avoidance scheduling tool for non-military organizations to run scheduling simulations that predict workforce fatigue levels. Analyzes schedule designs for fatigue risk and compliance with fatigue regulations.
• Developer API API enabling hardware and software developers to integrate Fatigue Science's validated predictive fatigue model into their own scheduling and fleet management tools. Allows contextualizing the impact of sleep and travel on performance ability for transportation industries.
• Professional Services Consulting, implementation, and training services to support Readi deployment and fatigue management program adoption. Managed Service Providers deliver deployment and ongoing support.
• ReadiWatch (RB6) Wearable fatigue monitoring watch (RB6 model) that tracks sleep and activity data with Bluetooth syncing to mobile apps to support fatigue risk assessments.
• ReadiBand (RB5) Wearable fatigue monitoring band (RB5 model) that captures actigraphic sleep data for upload to the Readi platform.
