First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a special health watch that monitors stress and dissociative symptoms can help prevent psychological trauma after a traumatic event. About 40 people who have experienced a potentially traumatic event will either receive standard care alone or standard care plus this watch. The main goal is to see if people find the approach acceptable and stick with it.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple way to prevent post-traumatic stress disorder after a traumatic event.
