Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Biostrap/Apollo Device UseExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants wear a Biostrap wearable device which measures steps, heart rate, heart rate variability, sleep metrics, and quantitative data in typical day-to-day activities of residents. Participants then again wear Biostrap except now also with the Apollo device which is worn around the ankle and is suggested to modulate heart rate variability and perceived stress of participants.
