Official title
High-Tech, High-Touch: A Pilot Study on the Impact of AI Health Coaching, Wearables, and Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment on Medical Student Health and Resilience
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Medical students often experience high levels of stress, anxiety, and poor sleep, especially during their first year and around exams. This study looked at whether adding hands-on osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) to a wellness program built around a wearable ring and an artificial intelligence (AI) health coaching app could help first-year medical students. Forty-three first-year osteopathic medical students at one college took part. Each student was randomly assigned, by chance rather than by choice, to one of three groups for 23 weeks: a wearable ring alone; a wearable ring plus an AI health coaching app; or a wearable ring, the AI health coaching app, and seven OMT sessions given about every three weeks by osteopathic physicians. All students wore the ring daily. The ring recorded information such as sleep, heart rate, and heart rate variability, which is a measure of how the nervous system responds to stress. Students also completed questionnaires about resilience and about symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress at three points: before the semester, in the middle, and at the end. Students answered additional surveys about their experience two months and seven months after the study ended. This was a small pilot study. Its main purpose was to find out whether a program like this can be carried out successfully and to gather the information needed to plan a larger study, rather than to determine whether OMT works. No harmful effects were reported.
