NCT ID NCT06086028
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a wrist-worn sensor could help healthcare workers better understand and manage their stress. 80 staff members from community health centers wore the sensor for six weeks. The goal was to see if getting real-time feedback on their stress levels helped them take more self-care actions and feel less burned out.
