Brief Summary

The prevalence of burnout and other forms of distress among physicians is alarmingly high. This clinical trial is being conducted to learn more about if wearing a Smartwatch and having access to its data improves physicians' sense of well-being and if data measured from Smartwatches contain a 'signal' that predicts well-being

Conditions

Possible scores range from 0-27 (emotional exhaustion subscale), 0-10 (depersonalization subscale), and 0-40 (personal accomplishment subscale).
