Real-time Fatigue Mitigation With Air-medical Personnel: The SleepTrackTXT2 Randomized Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating SleepTrackTXT2 for Poor Quality Sleep and Fatigue. Completed, enrolled 83 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The overarching goal of this proposal is to address the MedEvac foundation priority of educational techniques and technologies and improve Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) safety by determining if overall sleep quality and intra-shift fatigue of HEMS clinicians can be improved with real-time assessment and intervention. Aim 1: To determine the short-term impact of an enhanced SleepTrackTXT intervention on HEMS clinician fatigue reported in real-time during and at the end of shift work. Aim 2: To determine the long-term impact of the SleepTrackTXT intervention on sleep quality and sleep health indicators including hours of sleep and recovery between shift work.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Participants that report high levels of fatigue, sleepiness, or difficulty with concentration during shift work (intra-shift) will receive tailored text-messages promoting adoption of behaviors that can improve alertness during shift work. Participants will also receive a summary of their sleep debt once a week and suggestions for paying back sleep debt. Participants will also have access to a graphic summary of their sleep hours over previous 30-days.
