2B-AlertApp 2.0: personalized caffeine recommendations for optimal alertness

Abstract

If properly consumed, caffeine can safely and effectively mitigate the effects of sleep loss on alertness. However, there are no tools to determine the amount and time to consume caffeine to maximize its effectiveness. Here, we extended the capabilities of the 2B-Alert app, a unique smartphone application that learns an individual’s trait-like response to sleep loss, to provide personalized caffeine recommendations to optimize alertness.
