Aware Labs
Built for those who work when others sleep
Aware Labs creates tools designed to help shift workers better understand and manage fatigue.
Shift work places unique demands on the body and mind. Irregular schedules, disrupted sleep patterns, and long operational hours can make it difficult to maintain awareness of fatigue and recovery.
Aware Labs was founded to develop practical tools that help people working in these environments better understand their fatigue, plan recovery, and make more informed decisions around rest.
Our purpose
Our goal is simple: provide shift workers with clear awareness of their fatigue so they can make better decisions both on shift and in their time off.
Rather than diagnosing or treating fatigue, our tools focus on decision support and operational awareness — helping users understand their current state and plan accordingly.
Who it's for
- emergency services
- healthcare professionals
- aviation and transport operators
- defence personnel
- FIFO and mining workers
- anyone working rotating or night shifts
These professions often operate in demanding environments where fatigue awareness is critical.
Built by shift workers
Aware Labs is built with direct input from people who work in high-demand shift environments.
The founder is an operational state service paramedic and Australian Army reservist with firsthand experience working extended hours, night shifts, and high-consequence operational environments.
This perspective shapes the design philosophy behind our products: tools that are practical, clear, and useful in the real world.
Our approach
- conservative thresholds
- risk-based language
- decision support, not diagnosis
- clear visual outputs
- simple inputs with meaningful insight
- practical use in real-world shift environments
The Aware ecosystem
ShiftAware is the first product developed by Aware Labs.
Additional awareness and recovery-focused tools are currently in development as part of the broader Aware ecosystem.
Updates will be shared as new features and products are released.
