Timeshifter got its start with a jet lag app that helps people adjust to different times of day and time zones with personalized plans, and now the company is working on The Shift Work App to specifically help "shift workers to optimize their sleep, alertness, health, and quality of life."
As Timeshifter states, about 20% of the global workforce are shift workers—and that means there are 700 million people who need support taking care of themselves to minimize the risk of injury and accidents at work. With its new app, Timeshifter is on a mission to tackle the problem of circadian and sleep disruption with cutting-edge sleep and circadian neuroscience. Like the jet lag app, this new one promises to be highly personalized so that schedules can be set based on users' specific needs.
