Ongoing Research Studies

Currently, we are conducting studies to evaluate the BLT alertness tester for use as a fitness-for-duty device.

1) Lab Study: The BLT test is being compared to alertness testbed measures. Subjects participated in a two-day sleep restriction trial with only three hours of sleep in the morning before the second test day.

2) Workplace Study: This trial is conducted with emergency doctors at the University of Maryland Baltimore. BLT tests and other performance tests are performed before, during and after work shifts.
