EyeJolt Product Limitations

A complete statement of what EyeJolt may miss, where it should not be the sole safeguard, and how platform conditions affect operation.

Detection

EyeJolt is designed around visible face signals. It can miss open-eye lapses, lose tracking, or interpret normal closure as drowsiness.

Runtime

Web monitoring depends on the foreground browser. Native desktop apps support background sessions, but operating-system permissions and camera availability still apply.

Safety-critical use

Do not use EyeJolt as the only control for driving, machinery, patient care, transport, security, or regulated work.

Health

EyeJolt does not diagnose or treat sleep deprivation, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, hypersomnia, or any other condition.
