Professional Burnout Clinical Trial

Official title: Smartwatch and Physician Well-being: Are Wearables Part of the Solution?

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The prevalence of burnout and other forms of distress among physicians is alarmingly high. This clinical trial is being conducted to learn more about if wearing a Smartwatch and having access to its data improves physicians' sense of well-being and if data measured from Smartwatches contain a 'signal' that predicts well-being

Clinical Trial Description

We will conduct a randomized controlled trail to evaluate if wearing a Smartwatch improves overall well-being among physicians, and if so, in which dimension of well-being (e.g., fatigue, stress, overall quality of life, burnout). Additionally, we will explore if data from Smartwatches can predict subsequent well-being among physicians.

Study Aims:

1. To determine if wearing a Smartwatch and having access to its physiological data (e.g., sleep, step count, activity, breathing reminders) improves well-being, and if so which well-being dimensions.

2. To determine whether continuous physiological measures (measured from Smartwatches) contain a 'signal' that predicts physician well-being, and if so in which dimensions. ;
