ABSTRACT
Development of fatigue management solutions is critical to U.S. Navy populations. This study explored the operational feasibility and acceptability of commercial wearable devices (Oura Ring and ReadiBand) in a warship environment with 845 Sailors across five ship cohorts during at-sea operations ranging from 10 to 31 days. Participants were required to wear both devices and check-in daily with research staff. Both devices functioned as designed in the environment and reliably collected sleep-wake data. Over 10,000 person-days at-sea, overall prevalence of Oura and ReadiBand use was 69% and 71%, respectively. Individual use rates were 71 ± 38% of days underway for Oura and 59 ± 34% for ReadiBand. Analysis of individual factors showed increasing device use and less device interference with age, and more men than women found the devices comfortable. This study provides initial support that commercial wearables can contribute to infrastructures for operational fatigue management in naval environments.
