Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this "digital health intervention" study is to test a novel email management tool called "AirEmail" (version 1, or v1) for its impact on improving key aspects of healthcare email management. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What are the effects of technostress in staff employed by the National Health Service (NHS)? - Can the AirEmail digital tool improve email productivity? - Can the AirEmail digital tool improve participant digital wellbeing? Participants will use AirEmail for a period of 4 weeks as part of their routine management of healthcare email. This active use period will be preceded and followed by 2 weeks of an "observational mode" in which email use data is collected. Researchers will compare participants in the active study group with participants in the contemporary observational group to see if the volume and patterns of email communications have been affected by external factors or AirEmail use.
