[en] SomnoTraq is an android-based application aiming to track fatigue-related risk over time among healthcare practitioners. This application is composed of several modules: sleep/work diary, error reporting system, fatigue scale (e.g. Karolinska Sleepiness Scale) and vigilance test (e.g. Psychomotor Vigilance Test). SomnoTraq allows the researcher to conduct longitudinal studies involving specific modules at different times. Data are stored on the user’s phone as a CSV file that is readily importable to any device for statistical analysis. The main advantage of this application resides in its ability to collect multiple indicators of fatigue-related risk within a short period of time (i.e. approximately 6 minutes). This asset makes SomnoTraq particularly suitable for on-the-job investigations characterized by significant time pressure.
