Detailed Description
This study is a prospective randomized controlled longitudinal crossover design with a per protocol analysis integrating one sensor (WHOOP, inc Platform) and one educational intervention (Arena Strive Platform). The WHOOP sensor collects data on heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), and sleep data, and will be worn by all participants in the experimental intervention. Participants will be asked to wear the biometric sensor for 14 weeks but will have optional access to the device for a total of 24 weeks.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Arena Strive The experimental intervention employed in this study will be a 14-week, multi-phased approach involving a baseline data collection period (2 weeks), asynchronous learning and coaching experience (6 weeks), and exploration phase (6 weeks). |
Behavioral: Arena Strive
This second-generation platform provides frontline clinicians with a comprehensive journey to access the tools, training, and technology used by other high-pressure fields to increase performance and enhance resilience.

Monitor your recovery, sleep, training, and health, with personalized recommendations and coaching feedback.
- Change in sleep debt [Week 14]
measured by the WHOOP biometric device - The WHOOP wearable brings hi-tech features including sleep, workout, heart rate feedback and more advanced biometrics in a simple package - the latest, most advanced fitness and health wearable available. Monitor your recovery, sleep, training, and health, with personalized recommendations and coaching feedback.
- Change in amount of burn out [Week 14]
collected by means of a paper survey at key benchmark moments throughout the intervention period - scored from 0 to 16 with higher scores being more favorable
- Change in self-reported professional fulfillment [Week 14]
collected by means of a paper survey at key benchmark moments throughout the intervention period - scored from 0 to 5 with higher scores being more favorable
- Change in self-valuation [Week 14]
collected by means of an in-app survey at key benchmark moments throughout the intervention period
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in self-reported acceptance of the Arena Strive Platform [Week 14]
collected by means of an in-app survey at key benchmark moments throughout the intervention period
- Change in self-reported satisfaction of the Arena Strive Platform [Week 14]
collected by means of an in-app survey at key benchmark moments throughout the intervention period - client satisfaction questionnaire 8 (CSQ-8) - Scores therefore range from 8 to 32, with higher values indicating higher satisfaction.
- percentage of feasibility of the Arena Strive Platform [Week 14]
collected by means of an in-app survey at key benchmark moments throughout the intervention period - Net Promoter Score with the question of likelihood to recommend
