Mark Holmes

Director

Mark co-founded Circadian Australia, leads our team and draws on a successful career in international leadership to ensure that we optimise outcomes for our clients and their people. He also draws on his own recent health experiences in managing his Obstructive Sleep Apnoea, which drives his passion for helping others suffering from sleep disruption and the related health outcomes. Mark is now the first to admit that like many people he was in denial about his OSA and the toll his disrupted sleep took on his health, effectiveness and alertness.

Mark monitors his sleep quality and sleep efficiency every morning with the Fatigue Science Readiband, continually making lifestyle changes to improve his health, alertness and wellbeing. Mark uses an Oventus 02Vent https://o2vent.com every night to regulate his breathing and control his obstructive sleep apnoea and he regularly achieves 7+ hours of good sleep resulting in average wake time alertness of 90% to 95%.

Jim MacDonnell

Jim leads our day-to-day operations at Circadian Australia and is actively involved in delivering optimised outcomes to our clients and their people. Jim’s experience in optimising shift work rosters and schedules and delivering face to face education, awareness and training about coping with a shift work lifestyle proves invaluable to our clients.

Fatigue Science

Fatigue Science are leaders in fatigue-related risk management and human performance optimisation.

Their solution pairs scientifically-validated biomathematical modelling with wearable technology, to quantify and predict workplace fatigue impairment.

Fatigue Science’s SAFTE™ Biomathematical Fatigue Model was developed by the US Army Research Lab, with over 25 years and $37 million in research. It has been validated and used by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), US Dept. of Transportation and several other organisations.

The Fatigue Science Readiband™ is a rugged, purpose-designed wrist-worn device that accurately measures individual sleep.

Sleep data collected by the Readiband and analysed by the SAFTE Fatigue Model, provides OH&S managers—and workers—with an effective tool to manage and mitigate against fatigue risk.
