Measuring Warfighter Status with a Mobile App and Apple Watch

This study aims to understand the mental and physical well-being of US Military Special Operations Forces (SOF) before and after deployment. You could participate if you are an Army or Marine Warfighter in 3rd SFG(A) or 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, aged 18 or older. If you're in 3rd SFG(A), you should be within three months of returning from deployment. If you're in 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, you should be within six months before deployment. The study uses a confidential mobile app called Digital cORA and an Apple Watch to collect information over six months. The main goal is to measure your overall status at the end of this six-month period. The study is currently recruiting 500 participants.
