Trial Summary

Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?

The trial protocol does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.

How is the Ambient AI treatment for burnout different from other treatments?

Ambient AI for burnout is unique because it uses smart technology in homes to understand and respond to users' stress and sleep needs, offering personalized relaxation and sleep improvement programs. Unlike traditional treatments, it relies on real-time data from wearable devices and home sensors to provide tailored support, making it a novel approach to managing burnout. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Findings from Research

The INTERSTRESS project introduced a novel treatment for psychological stress called Interreality, which combines cognitive behavioral therapy with immersive virtual experiences, allowing users to actively engage in their own mental health.

In a trial with 36 participants, the mobile-based relaxation tool, which uses biofeedback and virtual reality, received positive feedback, indicating its potential efficacy and user acceptance, though further studies are planned to explore cultural differences in its acceptance.
