Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether use of a suite of smart phone enabled mobile health devices can reduce burnout in medical trainees. Such applications can then be used in more general populations with the same goal in mind.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Wearable sensors and mental health platforms delivered via smartphones offer an opportunity to passively and actively acquire quantifiable signs and symptoms related to mental health status. These features include both physiological and cognitive performance measures. Collectively they serve as a set of metrics whereby an estimation of a person's mental state can be gauged. Additionally, use of these platforms allows those who are identified as high risk for mental illness to have targeted therapy delivered via their smartphone and if necessary connected with a suitable healthcare provider. Applications of such technology platforms serve to potentially reduce the substantial morbidity and mortality in a population at increased risk for mental illness and burnout.
