“…industry, business, and education (e.g., Hinrichs, 1964;Jahoda, 1992;Münsterberg, 1913). Particularly, biobehavioral monitoring has been employed by applied psychologists since World War II and increasingly used since the 1980s (Akinola, 2010;Boucsein & Backs, 2000;Ganster et al, 2018), with recent trends including cardiovascular load assessment, stress and creativity at work, and the promotion of worker sleep quality (e.g., Akinola et al, 2019;Dias et al, 2023;Zhang et al, 2023).…”

Wearable sleep trackers are increasingly used in applied psychology. Particularly, the recent boom in the fitness tracking industry has resulted in a number of relatively inexpensive consumer-oriented devices that further enlarge the potential applications of ambulatory sleep monitoring. While being largely positioned as wellness tools, wearable sleep trackers could be considered useful health devices supported by a growing number of independent peer-reviewed studies evaluating their accuracy. The inclusion of sensors that monitor cardiorespiratory physiology, diurnal activity data, and other environmental signals allows for a comprehensive and multidimensional approach to sleep health and its impact on psychological well-being. Moreover, the increasingly common combination of wearable trackers and experience sampling methods has the potential to uncover within-individual processes linking sleep to daily experiences, behaviors, and other psychosocial factors. Here, we provide a concise overview of the state-of-the-art, challenges, and opportunities of using wearable sleep-tracking technology in applied psychology. Specifically, we review key device profiles, capabilities, and limitations. By providing representative examples, we highlight how scholars and practitioners can fully exploit the potential of wearable sleep trackers while being aware of the most critical pitfalls characterizing these devices. Overall, consumer wearable sleep trackers are increasingly recognized as a valuable method to investigate, assess, and improve sleep health. Incorporating such devices in research and professional practice might significantly improve the quantity and quality of the collected information while opening the possibility of involving large samples over representative time periods. However, a rigorous and informed approach to their use is necessary.

The number of accidents in the Transjakarta mode of transportation is increasing from year to year. Accidents can occur dueto the driver’s workload which is not ideal so that it affects the driver’s negligence while driving. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the workload experienced by Transjakarta bus drivers using a comprehensive approach that includes questionnaires, pulse measurement, and analytical methods such as NASA-TLX, Cardiovascular Load, Correlation Test. The process of collecting data using the NASA Task Load Index method involving 30 samples of Transjakarta bus drivers was used which was divided into two stages, namely Paired Comparison and Event Scoring. The Cardiovascular Load method was used from calculating the Max Pulse Rate data, calculating %CVL which ends with identifying the results of the average %CVL. The result shows by using the NASA-TLX (mental load) and Cardiovascular Load - CVL (physical load) analysis methods was be used as a source of data that was go through acorrelation test and tested using Minitab software. The results obtained from the NASA-TLX method show that the mental load was quite high with an average value of 70.8%. The CVL result shows that the highest percentage of fatigue level was achieved at value of 27.59%. In addition, Correlation Test Results of %CVL and WWL showed that the correlation between %CVL and WWL was achieved at value of -0.197 and the P-Value was 0.296. It is found that the results of an inverse relationship were found between %CVL and WWL.

Repetitive tasks can lead to long-term cardiovascular problems due to continuous strain and inadequate recovery. The automobile operators on the assembly line are exposed to these risks when workload volume changes according to the workstation type. However, the current ergonomic assessments focus primarily on observational and, in some cases, biomechanical methods that are subjective and time-consuming, overlooking cardiorespiratory adaptations. This study aimed to analyze the cardiorespiratory response to distinct workload volumes and ergonomic risk (ER) scores for an automotive assembly line. Sixteen male operators (age = 38 ± 8 years; BMI = 25 ± 3 kg·m2) volunteered from three workstations (H1, H2, and H3) with specific work cycle duration (1, 3, and 5 min respectively). Electrocardiogram (ECG), respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP), and accelerometer (ACC) data were collected during their shift. The results showed significant differences from the first to the last 10 min, where H3 had its SDRRi reduced (p = 0.014), H1’s phase synchrony and H2’s coordination between thoracic and abdominal movements decreased (p < 0.001, p = 0.039). In terms of ergonomic risk, the moderate-high rank showed a reduction in SDRRi (p = 0.037) and moderate-risk activities had diminished phase synchrony (p = 0.018) and correlation (p = 0.004). Thus, the explored parameters could have the potential to develop personalized workplace adaptation and risk assessment systems.
