Measuring Worker Fatigue with James Walsh of Hyperion Biotechnology-part1
About this episode
This episode discusses a new non-invasive test for measuring worker fatigue with James Walsh from Hyperion Biotechnology.
Fatigue contributes to accidents, now there’s an accurate test. This is part 1 of fatigue testing using non-invasive saliva chews with James Walsh. Hyperion Biotechnology developed a non‑invasive saliva‑based test that measures biological markers linked to fatigue, stress, and readiness for duty. The goal is to give employers an objective way to identify when workers may be too fatigued to perform safely — especially in high‑risk environments.

What the Test Measures What is measured is a proprietary, patented biomarker for fatigue. It’s not cortisol. The peptide ratio I describe is the Fatigue Biomarker Index is a biomarker assay that is exclusive to Hyperion (that we developed with the Army and Air Force). 🧪 2. How the Test Works Employees provide a simple saliva sample (no needles, no medical staff required). The sample is analyzed using Hyperion’s proprietary assay. Results indicate whether the worker is: Borderline fatigued Significantly fatigued This creates an objective fatigue score, rather than relying solely on…
