FAA Office of Aerospace Medicine report DOT/FAA/AM-12/12 (September 2012)

TL;DR

Field validation of SAFTE-FAST in 178 flight attendants (2009–2010 CAMI Flight Attendant Field Study), 3–4 weeks each. Sleep/wake from actigraphy, work logs on a PDA, and 5-min PVTs before/after each work day and sleep. Predicted Effectiveness was aligned with 10,659 valid PVT sessions.

  • Form factor: software (sleep/schedule input; wrist actigraphy optional)
