Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Determine stressors and de-stressors in employees working from home
Secondary outcome
Verify and optimize current stress models towards consumer-grade sensors
Background summary
This is a low risk, observational study. All subjects will be equipped with a wrist-worn consumer wearable that continuously measures physiological signals (i.e. HR, movements, sleep) together with an accompanying app installed on the participant’s phone. The study will take 7 consecutive days per subject. Subjects will be asked to install another app on their smartphone that prompts short questionnaires 5 times a day at predetermined times. These questionnaires measure subjective experiences and work situations. Subjects can follow their normal daily routines. An additional pre- and post-experiment questionnaire will focus on general subject characteristics and their opinions on the study.
Study objective
Stress can be detected based on physiological parameters and self-reports
Study design
The device will be worn for 7 days, questionnaires will be prompted 5 times a day with an additional questionnaire before and after the measurement week
Intervention
Daily questionnaires and continuously wearing a consumer wrist-worn sensor
Inclusion criteria
- Subjects between 18 and 65 years old
- Subjects working for at least 4 days during the 7 days in total, from which at least 3 days are spend working from home. Each workday must consist of at least 6 hours a day
- Subjects are working/residing in the United States during the measurements
- Subjects capable of wearing a wrist-worn tracker on one of their wrists

- Subjects with a known allergy to silicone.
- Subjects wearing any other measuring device which cannot be removed (i.e. Holter monitor).
- Patients with known sensitivity to light or using medication with phototoxic side ef-fects (i.e. Tetracycline, Doxycycline, Phenothiazines, Dacarbazine, Ketoprofen, Lomefloxacin). This is in order to exclude the possibility of local skin irritation from prolonged irradiation by LED-light (from the wearable on the wrist).
