Digital Intervention for Psychological Resilience

(SIER-WONE Trial)

This trial tests a digital app called WONE, designed to help high-achieving academics and entrepreneurs manage stress and build resilience. Participants will use different versions of the app to evaluate its effectiveness in reducing stress and burnout. The trial involves using the app over a set period and completing related activities and surveys. Ideal participants are affiliated with Stanford, have a smartphone with internet access, and are willing to engage with the app regularly. As an unphased trial, this study offers participants the chance to contribute to innovative research that could enhance stress management tools for high achievers.

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It seems focused on digital interventions, so it's likely you can continue your medications, but you should confirm with the trial organizers.

Research has shown that mental health apps, such as the WONE app, can safely and effectively improve mental well-being. Many users find these apps provide quick support and make mental health care more accessible. However, concerns about data safety and privacy persist. These apps may not fully protect personal information, so consider how your data might be used.

Researchers are excited about the WONE App because it offers a digital approach to building psychological resilience, setting it apart from traditional therapy and medication options. Unlike standard treatments that often involve face-to-face therapy sessions or medications, the WONE App provides flexibility and accessibility through a mobile platform. It offers two versions: a control version with limited features and an intervention version with full features, allowing researchers to assess the app's impact over different periods. This digital intervention could make mental health support more accessible and convenient, especially for those who might have barriers to traditional therapy.

Research has shown that the WONE app, a digital tool for managing stress and building resilience, could improve mental health. In this trial, participants will use different versions of the WONE app. The WONE Index, a feature of the app, strongly correlates with better mental health outcomes and outperforms some traditional methods of measuring resilience. Studies indicate that mobile apps can effectively help with depression and anxiety. Evidence suggests that mental health apps can assist in managing stress and improving well-being. These findings imply that the WONE app could be a useful tool for reducing stress and building resilience in stressful situations.²⁶⁷⁸⁹
