Tiati is an application that prevents microsleep during driving by identifying early signs of drowsiness through the monitoring of facial indicators, specifically focusing on the user's blinking duration, blinking frequency, yawning duration, yawning frequency, and head tilt. While it detects some sleepiness symptoms, it triggers stimuli such as flashing lights, sounds, and vibrations to keep the user awake. Tiati is compatible with both iPhone and Apple Watch, ensuring seamless integration into the user's daily routine with enhanced flexibility.
Sleep is a fundamental human need, and inadequate sleep can lead to a variety of chronic health issues, including heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, obesity, and depression. Despite this, many people still underestimate the importance of sufficient sleep. One of the most common indicators of sleep deprivation is microsleep, a brief and involuntary episode of sleep that typically lasts from a fraction of a second to a few seconds. While microsleep may not be harmful in a safe environment, it can be extremely dangerous when it occurs in situations like driving, particularly on monotonous roads at night. Such instances of microsleep have been known to lead to serious car accidents. To address this issue, we developed a mobile application designed to detect early signs of drowsiness and alert drivers before it's too late.
