Wearable tech as a stress buster for future nurses?
NCT ID NCT07757256
First seen Aug 11, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial tests whether wearing a smartwatch can lower stress levels in nursing students during their clinical training with older adults. Half the students will wear smartwatches that track heart rate and steps, while the other half receive standard training. Stress will be measured using a questionnaire and heart rate data to see if the wearable helps students become more aware of and manage their stress.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- smart watch monitoring
- What this could lead to
- If effective, smartwatch monitoring could become a simple, low-cost tool to help nursing students manage stress during clinical training.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with a specific group, so results may not apply broadly. Also, wearing a smartwatch might not reduce stress for everyone.
