Digital health management in shift work

Shift workers frequently experience misalignment between the circadian pacemaker and the timing of sleep and wake. This leads to sleep disruption and sleep loss, impaired alertness and performance, and adverse physical and health outcomes. Personalised interventions to minimise the deleterious effects of shift work are lacking. We are conducting a range of studies improving and implementing an evidence-based digital sleep health management tool for shift workers known as SleepSync. SleepSync provides personalised strategies to optimise sleep-wake behaviour and health during shift work schedules.
