Descrição detalhada

Night-shift work is associated with disrupted sleep timing, reduced sleep quality, and impaired recovery. The SuperPatch REM Patch is a drug-free, non-invasive vibrotactile technology intended to support recovery signals around sleep, including sleep staging and autonomic metrics. This Phase 1 study is designed to determine feasibility and acceptability in a high-need population (post-night shift NHS doctors), and to estimate preliminary effect sizes on objective wearable sleep metrics and validated subjective recovery outcomes to inform a future double-blind RCT.

Descrição do plano IPD

Here's a short, submission-ready description you can paste into the IPD Sharing Statement field:

Individual participant data will not be shared. This is a small Phase 1 feasibility study (N=20) conducted within a narrowly defined population (NHS doctors on night-shift rotations in the UK), where the limited sample size and specificity of the population create a meaningful risk of participant re-identification, even after de-identification. Data collected are intended solely to assess feasibility and generate preliminary effect-size estimates to inform the design of a future randomized controlled trial, consistent with the scope of participant consent obtained for this study. Data will be handled in accordance with UK GDPR, including data minimization and pseudonymization safeguards.
