Summary

Study the impact of the WHOOP fitness tracker on burnout in attending and resident otolaryngologists

Detailed description

The study will be a randomized controlled trial of attending and resident otolaryngologists who will be randomized to either wearing a WHOOP fitness tracker or a control group. Participants will take two Maslach burnout inventory (MBI) surveys prior to the start of the intervention to set a baseline burnout score, and then at 3 months and 6 months into the study. Baseline cardiac status will also be established by taking a pre-intervention heart rate and blood pressure.

Conditions

• Burnout
• Stress
• Sleep Deprivation
• Wellness
