Brief Summary

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

A reliable method for monitoring stress and burnout among medical students is critically needed. To address this gap, our team aims to utilize the cost-effective WHOOP strap 4.0 wearable device to continuously capture stress-relevant physiologic data (i.e., sleep hours, heart rate variability, respiration rate, resting heart rate) among up to 50 third-year medical students at 24 Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University for 6 months.

Detailed Description

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

Aim 1: To determine whether physiologic metrics of sleep and heart rate variability correlate with subjective assessments of medical student wellness in a 6-month period.

Hypothesis: Less total sleep hours will correlate with higher scores for Perceived Stress Scale-4, Medical Student Well-Being Index, and Patient Health Questionnaire-9, but lower heart rate variability will correlate with higher scores on Perceived Stress Scale-4, Medical Student Well Being Index, and Patient Health Questionnaire-9.

Aim 2: To determine whether physiologic metrics of sleep and heart rate variability correlate with performance on shelf examinations for clinical rotations in a 6-month period.

Hypothesis: Less total sleep hours and lower heart rate variability will correlate with poorer performance on shelf examinations.

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

Subjects will be randomized to a treatment group (full remote monitoring data) versus a control arm (blinded data).

Primary Study Purpose

DIAGNOSTIC

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Investigators

Investigators are blinded to subject intervention group (data blinded versus data unblinded)

Study Groups

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

Treatment group

Subjects will have full remote monitoring data access throughout the entirety of the study (6 months).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

WHOOP strap 4.0 (full data access)

Intervention Type DEVICE

The WHOOP strap 4.0 provides continuous physiologic data via remote monitoring. Subjects will have full remote monitoring data access throughout the entirety of the study (6 months).

Control group

Subjects will be blinded to remote monitoring data for the first 3 months of the study followed by an unblinding and full access to remote monitoring data at the 3 month mark (continued for the remainder of the study).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

WHOOP strap 4.0 (partial data access)

Intervention Type DEVICE

The WHOOP strap 4.0 provides continuous physiologic data via remote monitoring. Subjects will be blinded to remote monitoring data for the first 3 months of the study followed by an unblinding and full access to remote monitoring data at the 3 month mark (continued for the remainder of the study).
