  Responsible for all Technology within the company. Member of the senior management team.Optalert is the only company in the world able to detect drowsiness and quantify an individual’s alertness level. Using the patented Johns Drowsiness Scale (JDS), developed by Founding Director Dr Murray Johns, Optalert’s technology assesses a user’s drowsiness level in real time by measuring a number of characteristics of eyelid blinks. Operators are assigned a risk score between one and 10 and are alerted before they become drowsy; an important distinction, as it is too late to notify a person after they have fallen asleep – especially if they are travelling at speed. With more than 20 years invested and validation by researchers from some of the most prestigious institutions in the world, including Harvard Medical School, our technology is in demand for high-performing 24-hour operations and for integration and licensing opportunities with in-vehicle systems within the consumer, autonomous vehicle and heavy-vehicle automotive industries. Although we started in the mining and transportation industries, we have increased our global reach to work with the airline industry, automotive manufacturers, railways, professional sport and companies testing medicines within the pharmaceutical industry.
