Fatigue & vigilance
Drowsiness and drops in attention at the wheel or at work, tracked second by second.
Pilot programme · November – December 2026
Does your product keep its promises in the hands of its users?
Nox Science is working with three companies on this question: 8 to 10 days of work offered, in exchange for being able to communicate about our collaboration.
3 places · Paris and Lille
Human factors
Understanding how your users really use your product
Human factors is the study of how people behave with a product or a system. It lets you:
- study the behaviour of your users;
- analyse use risks;
- optimise performance and comfort;
- adapt the product to people: ergonomics;
- measure the body’s response (fatigue, workload, stress), beyond what people say.
What we offer
8 to 10 days of work, on one precise question
Comfort & posture
Products, spaces and everyday objects: how comfort changes over time, through posture, physiological signals and what people report.
Sound & ambience
Sounds, scents and ambiences compared on the body's response, not only on what people say.
Data analysis
Whether we record it or you already have it: we analyse the data and tell you what it shows.
User tests and field measurement
Have representative users handle your prototype or your sensor, spot use errors and propose fixes. Assess reliability, comfort and acceptability in real conditions.
Use risks of a medical device
Analyse the tasks and possible errors on a medical device, following the approach expected for CE marking (IEC 62366-1).
We adapt to your product, your equipment and your data, or we bring our own measurement equipment. You leave with a tailored protocol, a short report with prioritised recommendations and the raw data, and an oral debrief with your team.
Who it is for
The programme is for companies that…
- develop a product where the user matters: health, connected objects, sport, well-being, or any other sector;
- have a product or prototype that can be tested in the coming weeks;
- name a contact available at least 1 hour a week;
- agree that we communicate about the collaboration, under the conditions defined together.
We work on site in Paris and Lille, and remotely elsewhere when the mission allows.
How it works
Four steps, from the first call to the case study
-
1
Call
A 30-minute call: we understand your product and your question, and check together that the pilot makes sense for you.
-
2
Agreement
A document that sets the scope and the confidentiality (NDA).
-
3
Pilot
8 to 10 days of work spread over 4 to 6 weeks, with a weekly check-in.
-
4
Debrief and case study
Results and recommendations, then, as agreed together, a case study.
Who we are
Two specialists, complementary signals.
We work across the whole chain: observing users in the field, measuring with rigour, analysing the data, and drawing concrete recommendations from it.
Brain, senses, attention and stress.
Specialised in measuring how people perceive smells, sounds and spaces, through brain activity and eye movements.
- EEG
- Eye-tracking
- Olfaction
- Audition
- VR
Body, workload, fatigue and performance.
Specialised in measuring how people cope with demanding tasks and complex systems, through heart rate, breathing and movement.
- ECG
- EDA
- Motion capture
- Human factors
- Ergonomics
Examples of our work
A glimpse of how we work
Here are two analyses run on open research data.
Case study 1 · Mobility
Driver fatigue
Eyes, heart or breathing: which signal tracks a driver’s fatigue best, checked against a sleep physician’s rating?
Case study 2 · Immersive experiences
Emotions in virtual reality
Does your VR environment make your users feel the intended emotion?
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Why is it offered?
We are launching Nox Science and building our first case studies with companies whose products interest us. In exchange, we ask to be able to communicate about the collaboration.
How will you communicate about the collaboration?
We want to communicate about our collaboration, while respecting confidentiality. You have the right to review and to veto any content, and everything is set out in a contract.
Does my information stay confidential?
Yes. Non-public information is covered by a confidentiality clause (NDA) signed before the pilot starts, and the data of test participants is anonymised.
How much time does it take from my team?
At least 1 hour a week of exchange with one person. Access to the product and to users, where applicable.
What equipment do you use?
We can adapt to your product and your sensors, or use our own sensors and equipment. The protocol is defined together during the first call.
Where do you work?
On site in Paris and Lille; elsewhere, remotely when the mission allows.
Is the pilot enough for my CE marking?
No. It can feed your process, but it does not replace the final validation of your file.
What if we want to go further?
We can continue beyond the pilot, as a standard engagement.
Let's talk for 30 minutes about your product
Three places are open for this first session. Pick a slot: we ask you a few questions about your product and see together whether the pilot makes sense.
