El problema

Los problemas de sueño que más importan son los que nadie reporta

La apnea del sueño, el insomnio y el malestar psicológico son comunes en las poblaciones que trabajan por turnos y en su mayoría no están diagnosticados. No aparecen en una programación de turnos ni en un plan de salud hasta que algo sale mal.

Sleepfit mide la salud del sueño a escala poblacional, de forma privada, identifica a los empleados que podrían beneficiarse de una evaluación clínica y ofrece a cada persona una vía hacia su propio médico.

Casos

When a sleep disorder went unchecked

Published cases from Estados Unidos where sleep apnea, insomnia or chronic short sleep sat behind a crash, a claim or lost work.

oct 2016 · California, United States
Truck driver with undiagnosed sleep apnea falls asleep in traffic stop; fatigued coach driver hits him, 13 killed
- Seguridad
Before dawn on an interstate highway, a truck driver failed to move off after a short police traffic break, most likely because he had fallen asleep, and a tour coach traveling at highway speed crashed into the back of the stopped truck, killing the coach driver and 12 passengers. The National Transportation Safety Board found the truck driver was at very high risk of obstructive sleep apnea and had never been tested, and that the coach driver failed to react because of fatigue after a disrupted sleep the previous day. It also faulted the road authority's traffic management plan for the traffic break.

Child care van driver with a likely undiagnosed sleep disorder falls asleep on the school run; four children and the driver killed
- Seguridad
A driver for a Tennessee child care center was taking six children to school in a 15-passenger van when it left an interstate highway. The National Transportation Safety Board found he fell asleep at the wheel, quite likely because of an undiagnosed sleep disorder, and named the absence of oversight by the child care operator in the probable cause. Four children and the driver were killed and two children were seriously injured.

Commuter train derails at 82 mph after engineer falls asleep
- Seguridad
A commuter railroad's passenger train entered a 30-mph curve at 82 mph and derailed, killing four passengers and injuring 61. The NTSB found the engineer had fallen asleep because of undiagnosed severe obstructive sleep apnea, made worse by a recent shift change in his work schedule. No screening for sleep disorders was required at the time.

Truck driver told to get a sleep study never did; fatigued by likely sleep apnea, he hits slowed traffic and four die
- Seguridad
A trucking company's truck traveling at about 70 mph struck a 1.5-mile queue of slowed traffic on an interstate early in the morning, killing four people and seriously injuring three. The NTSB found the driver failed to respond because of fatigue, contributed to by undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea. A medical examiner had certified him for only 3 months and told him to get a sleep study, but there was no evidence he did, and a second examiner later certified him for a year.

Commuter train crashes into terminal; engineer had severe OSA
- Seguridad
A state commuter railroad's train failed to stop and struck the end of the track at a New Jersey terminal, killing a person on the platform and injuring more than 100. The NTSB found the engineer was fatigued from undiagnosed severe obstructive sleep apnea, and that he and two crew colleagues met the railroad's own criteria for sleep testing but had never been referred.

Widow wins $3.25 million after truck driver with severe uncontrolled sleep apnea hits stopped car
- Seguridad
- Legal
- Financiero
A couple's car was stopped in a highway construction zone when an 18-wheeler traveling about 65 mph on cruise control rear-ended it, killing the husband. The truck driver had severe, uncontrolled sleep apnea, had been fired from a previous job for refusing sleep apnea testing and had been turned down by about 30 companies before being hired. The widow was awarded $3.25 million, described by her lawyer as the first time a trucking company acknowledged that sleep apnea might have contributed to a fatal crash.

Commuter train hits buffer at terminal after engineer falls asleep
- Seguridad
- Financiero
A commuter railroad train struck the end-of-track bumping post at a New York terminal, injuring 108 people and causing about $5.3 million in damage. The NTSB found the engineer fell asleep from chronic fatigue linked to severe undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea, and that neither the railroad nor federal rules required sleep disorder screening.

Cruise ship with 2,207 aboard grounds after pilot's chronic fatigue from sleep apnea; $27 million cost
- Seguridad
A cruise ship carrying 1,568 passengers and 639 crew grounded on a submerged rock at 0142 with a state-licensed pilot conducting. The NTSB found the probable cause was the pilot's poor performance, which may have been exacerbated by chronic fatigue caused by sleep apnea, and that the bridge team did not practice bridge resource management. No one was hurt, but repairs and lost service were estimated at $27.16 million.

Bus company pays $6 million after court-ordered sleep study finds rollover driver had untreated sleep apnea
- Seguridad
- Legal
- Financiero
An intercity bus rolled over after its driver allegedly fell asleep at the wheel, seriously injuring passengers. A medical examiner had flagged the driver as at risk of sleep apnea a month earlier and recommended an overnight sleep study, but the company had not had him tested and argued he had choked on coffee. In a reported first, the trial court ordered the driver to undergo an overnight sleep study, upheld on appeal, which found moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea, and the bus company settled with five passengers for $6 million.

Harbour pilot with untreated sleep apnea loses control of tanker; 462,000 gallons of crude spilled
- Seguridad
- Financiero
A loaded crude oil tanker under the control of a state-licensed harbour pilot began to sheer after a late turn at a mild bend in a narrow ship canal, collided with a cargo ship and then a barge tow, and spilled about 462,000 gallons of crude oil. The National Transportation Safety Board found the pilot's fatigue contributed, caused by obstructive sleep apnea that had been diagnosed but was not being treated, and by a work schedule that did not allow adequate sleep. Distraction by a radio call and poor teamwork between the two pilots on the bridge also contributed.

Cómo funciona

Sleep health, measured privately

Each employee completes a private, clinically structured sleep assessment on their own phone and gets a result, an action plan and, where a score is above a questionnaire’s cut-off, a letter they can choose to take to their own doctor. It works at the level of defence where most fatigue starts: whether people actually get the sleep their roster allows. The employer sees aggregate results only.

Los cinco niveles de defensa

Paso 01
Evaluación
Una evaluación del sueño con estructura clínica en el propio teléfono del empleado. Cinco instrumentos publicados, en una sola sesión.
Paso 02
Resultado y plan de acción
Un resultado individual con un plan de acción generado a partir de sus propias respuestas, no de una biblioteca genérica.
Paso 03
Una carta para su médico
Cuando una puntuación supera el punto de corte de un cuestionario, una carta sujeta a consentimiento que el empleado puede optar por descargar y llevar a su propio médico.
Paso 04
Seguimiento y reevaluación
Un seguimiento diario de tres preguntas (duración, calidad, energía) que alimenta un diario de sueño, y una reevaluación a los 14 días.

Undiagnosed sleep apnoea changed my family. It’s treatable, and too often nobody asks. Sleepfit asks, privately, and gives each person a route to their own doctor, before it costs someone else’s family.

Daniel PlattCofundador y director ejecutivo

Sleep is so often overlooked, yet it’s the foundation of good health. Many people with a sleep problem don’t know it, or don’t know it’s treatable. Sleepfit gives everyone a private, easy way to check their sleep health, and somewhere to go next.

Evidencia

Lo que podemos demostrar

Dos estudios independientes del Appleton Institute de CQUniversity encontraron una mejora significativa en la salud subjetiva del sueño y en la gravedad del insomnio después de usar Sleepfit. Ninguno tuvo la potencia estadística para establecer eficacia frente a un grupo de control.

En una implementación en el sector ferroviario, el 62% de los empleados que obtuvieron una puntuación por encima del punto de corte de un cuestionario tomaron medidas para un seguimiento clínico.

En los Estados Unidos, Sleepfit está disponible a través de nuestro socio Personify Health desde 2021.

Lo que no establece

Identifica a los empleados que podrían beneficiarse de una evaluación clínica. No diagnostica ninguna enfermedad. Solo un profesional de la salud puede hacerlo. Una puntuación por encima del punto de corte de un cuestionario sugiere que podría ser útil hablar con un profesional de la salud; no es una enfermedad, y una tasa de puntuaciones por encima del punto de corte no es una tasa de prevalencia. No mide la fatiga al inicio del turno ni determina la aptitud para el trabajo.

En la práctica

Rail · Shift work

A rail operator offered Sleepfit to its shift-working workforce.

More than 1,000 employees completed a sleep assessment. A quarter came back for a second, a mean of 93 days later.

En alianza con

Research partner
Independently studied Sleepfit with shift workers
Researchers at CQUniversity’s Appleton Institute ran two independent, peer-reviewed studies of Sleepfit, with paramedics and with shift workers. They found significant improvement in subjective sleep health and insomnia severity; neither study was powered to establish efficacy against a control group.

Preguntas frecuentes

Las preguntas que más nos hacen

Does the employer see individual results?

No. No individual result is reported to the employer. Reporting is aggregate, with a minimum cell size so small teams can’t be re-identified, and any letter for the employee’s doctor is released only by the employee.

Confianza y seguridad Política de privacidad

Does Sleepfit diagnose sleep disorders?

No. It does not diagnose any condition. Only a health professional can do that. Sleepfit identifies employees who may benefit from clinical evaluation, and the employee can choose to download a consent-gated letter to take to their own doctor.

What does the assessment use?

Five published instruments in one sitting, including STOP-Bang for sleep apnoea risk, the Regensburg Insomnia Scale and the PHQ-4.

What evidence is there that it helps?

Two independent studies from CQUniversity’s Appleton Institute found significant improvement in subjective sleep health and insomnia severity after using Sleepfit. Neither was powered to establish efficacy against a control group.

How is it priced?

On prevalence, not headcount: your whole cohort gets access, and you pay for the share predicted to need it.
