"No one should lose their life because they were too tired to pull over. Occulert started as a personal project and grew into a mission."
Why Occulert Exists
Drowsy driving kills thousands of people every year. Unlike drunk driving, there is no breathalyzer for fatigue — and most drivers don't realize how impaired they actually are until it is too late.
Occulert was built to change that. Using advances in browser-based AI and on-device camera processing, we can now detect the early warning signs of fatigue directly on a standard smartphone with no expensive hardware, no app store, and no subscription.
This is still a prototype and we are actively improving it. If you are a fleet operator, safety researcher, or developer interested in contributing, we would love to hear from you.
