Brief Summary:
A study to asses the feasibility of physicians using a wearable brain sensing wellness device during a time of increased work load, patient volume and stressors to assess the association between duration of active state and calm state as measured by the wearable brain sensing wellness device, and quality of life (QOL), subjective stress, sleep and resilience.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Stress, Emotional Sleep Quality of Life Device: Muse S™ Headband system Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
Participants will be instructed on how to use a brain sensing device and corresponding digital application to engage in structured digital mindfulness practices daily for 3 months. Subjects will be requested to use the device and practice daily, but the amount of time and frequency daily will be to their choosing. Subjects will also complete questionnaires and cognitive based testing throughout participation.

Drug Information available for: Alprostadil

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Practicing Physicians
Practicing physicians at Mayo Clinic caring for patients during the COVID 19 pandemic will receive the Muse S™ Headband system, and will be asked to utilize it at least 4 times per week for a minimum of 10 minutes each time over a period of 3 months (12 weeks).
Device: Muse S™ Headband system
Brain sensing headband that measures brain activity by detecting electrical impulses created by the brain.
