The Performetric, one of 11 Portuguese companies that are this Thursday to present in Silicon Valley invented a computer program that can tell whether a worker hit compromising fatigue levels and it is necessary that this pause.
Andrew Pepper, one of those responsible for this “startup”, says that, for this purpose, “use the mouse and keyboard as sensors, with some artificial intelligence algorithms”.
The investigator of this company warns that less tired workers are more productive. “Mental fatigue strongly affects productivity because there is no control. If this were not the case, there would be no losses so great, “he argues, adding that in the US alone, the costs due to mental fatigue are greater than EUR 300 billion.
It is precisely in America that Performetric want to find clients and / or investors.
For André Pimenta, this visit to Silicon Valley “is an excellent opportunity” since it will be able to “present the work not only to the community but also to many local companies.”
Taking advantage of the fact that these 11 “startups” national have made this trip, it launched the “West to West,” an organization formed by entrepreneurs and Portuguese companies that are in the United States. The aim is to support companies that want to show or install there.
