Brief Summary

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

Stress, anxiety, distress and depression are exceptionally high among healthcare providers at the frontline of the COVID-19 pandemic. Knowledge of factors underlying distress and resilience and evidence based interventions to impact the mental wellbeing of frontline healthcare providers is limited. This study will evaluate a novel mobile platform to gather the "distress experience" of healthcare workers at Unity Health Toronto in real time during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, use automated personalized mobile interventions (e.g. routine, sleep, exercise) to nudge active/passive parameters to manage distress.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Upon logging into the study platform, half of the participants will be automatically randomized to receive (for 4 weeks) daily-personalized automated alerts (The mobile intervention). This feature will be made available to all participants after 4 weeks. Hence, for the first 4 weeks, this study can be described as having a parallel group study model. After 4 weeks, the study switches to a single group study model, and can therefore be described as having a single group interventional model after 4 weeks from the start date until the rest of the duration of the study.

Primary Study Purpose

OTHER

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Participants Investigators

Participants will be issued a specific ID number to be used within the mobile app to ensure that any identifiable information within this app will remain anonymous. A master linking log will serve as the only link between participants and the study data collected in the mobile app.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Mobile Intervention Group

One half of the participants will receive personalized automated alerts throughout their involvement.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mobile Intervention

Intervention Type OTHER

Active mobile data will be used to provide automated, personalized notifications to frontline healthcare workers. Key information on mental health and links to access additional health resources will be available on the mobile platform.

Control Group

For 4 weeks, the other half of the participants will not receive personalized automated alerts. After 4 weeks, these alerts will be enabled.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
