Summary

This trial will study whether a wearable brain device can help physicians by measuring stress and QOL.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for practicing physicians at Mayo Clinic who are not pregnant, over 18 years old, able to participate fully and give informed consent. They must have a smartphone or tablet and no health conditions that would affect using the Muse S™ headband. Those with unstable medical/mental conditions, recent mindfulness training, drug trials participation, or other QOL/stress interventions can't join.

What is being tested?

The study tests if the Muse S™ brain sensing headband helps doctors during stressful times by tracking changes in their active and calm states. It aims to see if there's a link between these states and improvements in stress levels, sleep quality, resilience, and overall life quality.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves a non-invasive wearable device designed for wellness monitoring rather than medication or invasive therapy, significant side effects are not anticipated.
