How OPTOVERA Fits Into Your Operation

Built to Fit the Way Your Operation Already Works

OPTOVERA adds an objective, one-minute measure of whether each worker may not be in a condition to work safely,  before the shift begins, without disruption, without subjectivity.

Start With Scan. Add Capability When You're Ready.

Every OPTOVERA deployment starts with Scan — the one-minute pupillary worker neurological response measurement that is the foundation of everything. From there, organizations choose how far they want to go.

OPTOVERA Scan

Real-Time Neurological Response Measurement at Shift Entry.

 

A sixty-second pupillary scan with automatic iris recognition delivers an objective neurological condition result — low risk or high risk. No login. No badge. No PIN.

Fast, tamper-resistant, and operational from day one.

Best for: Organizations beginning their workplace fatigue management program, and operations where a consistent objective pre-shift check is the immediate priority.

OPTOVERA Scan + Checklist

Structured operational inputs aligned with the worker's neurological response measurement.

Everything in Scan, plus a fully customizable digital checklist that captures structured frontline input at shift entry. Questions are configured by your organization to match your existing compliance requirements — safety checks, wellness declarations, permit verification, incident follow-up, or any other standardized workflow.

Every response is timestamped, standardized, and report-ready alongside scan results in Analytics.

Best for: Organizations digitizing and standardizing existing pre-shift compliance processes while adding objective neurological condition monitoring.

OPTOVERA Scan + Predict

Recommended

Real-Time Readiness and Forward-Looking Operational Risk.

Everything in Scan, plus OPTOVERA Predict — a validated biomathematical workplace fatigue management model that forecasts each worker's risk across the hours ahead. Predict combines shift schedules, sleep patterns, and workload history with one critical input no other fatigue platform can provide: a real-time neurological condition measurement.

Predict includes OPTOVERA Checklist, OPTOVERA's standardized data collection tool, capturing the pre-shift data like sleep quality, rest hours, and readiness indicators the fatigue model needs to produce accurate, individually-calibrated forecasts.

Best for: Organizations managing complex shift rotations, extended hours, remote or high-consequence sites, or those seeking the most complete accident prevention solution available.

Full functionality. With or without an internet connection.

OPTOVERA is designed for the environments where safety-critical work happens — and where infrastructure cannot be taken for granted.

The Scan never depends on a connection

PLR measurement, iris recognition, baseline comparison, and risk result run entirely on the device. No cloud processing. No dependency on signal strength. The result appears on screen in 60 seconds, and the record is created locally, timestamped, and stored securely until the device reaches a connected environment

The offline capability is not a degraded mode. It is the full measurement. 

Keeping the data current

Scan results are stored on the device and automatically synced when connected to a network — no manual export, no missing records.


Because identity is handled by iris recognition rather than device assignment, any enrolled worker can use any device. When synced, all results are attributed correctly regardless of which device was used — making the devices fully interchangeable across your operation.


Syncing at least once daily is the minimum recommended practice. More frequent sync — at the end of each shift, or when devices return to a connected base — gives supervisors and safety managers the most current picture of the workforce's neurological condition.


For operations using OPTOVERA Predict, regular sync is important for the best results. Predict uses each worker's neurological condition measurement as a direct input to the fatigue risk model. Without current scan data, the model falls back on population averages rather than the individual's actual baseline — reducing the precision of the personalized forecasts that make Predict uniquely accurate.

Building sync into your operational routine is as important as building the scan into your pre-shift process.

Complete audit trail — 3 records, no gaps 06:02 · 06:10 · · · 08:40 — all timestamped, all report-ready

Whether a scan occurs in a connected environment or an offline one, every result is logged, timestamped, and report-ready. The audit trail has no gaps — connectivity is never a dependency for record creation, only for how quickly that record reaches the systems around it.


For organizations operating across multiple sites with varying connectivity profiles, this means a single consistent data standard across the entire operation — regardless of where each individual scan took place.

Designed for environments where connectivity cannot be assumed. Reliable wherever safety-critical work happens.

Introducing OPTOVERA to Your Workforce

Preventive. Safe. Never punitive.

Organizations that deploy OPTOVERA are typically safety-conscious operations that already invest in safety technology. Introducing a new pre-shift measurement process is not unfamiliar territory — it is part of an ongoing commitment to protecting the people who do the work.


The foundation of a successful introduction is clear, consistent communication about what the system does, what it does not do, and how results will be used.

Three things workers need to know

It is preventive, not disciplinary.

A flagged result is not evidence of wrongdoing. It is a signal that triggers a safety response — the same logic as any other pre-shift safety check.

 

Results support a decision made by a qualified person. They are never used as the basis for disciplinary action.

The testing light is completely safe.

The most common concern workers raise is whether the scan light could harm their eyes. It cannot.

 

OPTOVERA complies with ISO and ANSI international safety standards for ophthalmic instruments.

 

The light intensity is well within established safety limits — documented, independently verified, and available to share with workers and safety representatives upon request.

The baseline period is a learning period, not a test.

During the first two weeks, workers receive no risk result — only confirmation that the scan was performed correctly. There is nothing to pass or fail.

 

By the end of the baseline acquisition period, workers have completed the scan ten or more times and are fully comfortable with it.

 

Approximately 90% complete baseline acquisition within the standard two-week period. Every worker reaches full proficiency.

What supports a smooth introduction

Communicate the purpose before the first scan. Apply the process consistently — the same procedure for every worker, every shift. Consistency is what builds trust over time. It signals that the system is about safety, not about individuals. OPTOVERA does not determine cause, assign blame, or make employment decisions. Communicating this clearly — and demonstrating it consistently in practice — is what converts initial caution into acceptance.

A safety tool that workers understand is a safety tool that works.

Iris Recognition

Secure, Simple, and Strictly Contained.

Iris recognition is unique to OPTOVERA and offers two important benefits.


First, speed. Eliminating login, badge, and PIN removes friction at shift entry — at scale, across a full workforce and multiple shifts, this is operationally significant. And because there is no friction, workers follow it naturally.

Second, tamper-resistance. Nobody can take the test for someone else. This is not a policy control. It is a physical one, built into how the system works.

​Designed for privacy.

Iris recognition in OPTOVERA cannot be used — and is not used — for surveillance, tracking, profiling, group identification, database searches, law enforcement, or any form of public identification. It is not connected to any external system. It does not leave your operational environment.

​This is not a policy commitment that could change.

It is how the system is built.

Baseline Acquisition

Personalized to Every Worker. From Day One.

Before results can be meaningful, OPTOVERA builds a personal baseline for each enrolled worker. Every subsequent scan is then compared against that individual's own normal, not a population average. This is what makes the results accurate and meaningful: a flagged result reflects a genuine deviation for that specific person.

Baseline acquisition takes approximately two weeks and ten or more scans across normal working shifts. During this period, the system is in learning mode. Workers receive no risk result — only confirmation that the scan was performed correctly. There is nothing else required of them.

This phase also serves a secondary purpose. By the time baseline acquisition is complete, workers have performed the test ten or more times. They are familiar with it, comfortable with it, and able to complete it quickly and consistently. Proficiency and baseline establishment happen simultaneously.

After baseline acquisition is completed, every scan produces a fully personalized result — compared against that worker's own neurological baseline, calibrated to their individual pattern.

When a result flags risk

A result is not a decision.

It is the information that makes a good decision possible.

​When OPTOVERA detects a neurological condition that may indicate reduced alertness, the result should be treated as a signal to pause and make a better-informed safety decision before work begins.

 

The goal is not to accuse, discipline, or explain.  The goal is to reduce risk before exposure.

Icon

PAUSE

A flagged result is a prompt to stop and reassess readiness before proceeding with safety-critical work.​​​

Do not jump to conclusions about the cause. The signal indicates current condition, not wrongdoing.

Icon

ASSESS THE TASK

Use the information to reduce risk before exposure

Higher-consequence tasks may require a more conservative approach. Examples include driving, heavy equipment, confined spaces, and other safety-critical activities.

Icon

CHOOSE NEXT STEP

The right response depends on the level of risk.

Possible responses may include delaying the task, reassigning work, allowing a recovery period,  repeating the check later, or sending the worker back home.

Icon

Preventive, Not Punitive

OPTOVERA does not determine cause, assign blame, or accuse a worker of wrongdoing. 

A flagged result is not a disciplinary event. It is objective information that supports a safer operational decision

Consistency Builds Trust

Organizations should define a clear, non-disciplinary operational policy for how flagged results are handled.

This ensures decisions are applied consistently, understood by workers, and aligned across the operation.
