简要总结
Sensate® is A commercially marketed (FCC #: 2AS9ESEN231) stress management wellness device (BioSelf Technology; London, UK). This non-invasive wellness device is one component of a cross-modal (acoustic and aural) sensory experience designed to help an individual experience relaxation following a 10 to 30-minute session. The wellness device is paired with an in-app software program that offers infrasonic vibrations that are proprietarily synced to music or soundscapes. The wellness device is recommended in blogs, and online news articles as a possible modality for positive stress management (Bergland, 2017; Woodhall, 2018; Woolton, 2018), and anecdotal evidence from social media influencers suggest a relaxing response (Garth, 2021; Knight, 2021; Patterson, 2020). Moreover, a 2021 survey response from consumers of Sensate suggests an improvement in stress response during the COVID-19 pandemic (McDoniel & Chmelik, 2022). However, it is unknown to what extent, if any, the use of Sensate II correlated with validated measures of stress, affect, or sleep quality in adults.
详细描述
This study aims to assess the possible relationship between Sensate II utilization (Frequency, Duration, & Time) and perceived stress, affect, and sleep quality in adults.
- Is there a relationship between Sensate II utilization and perceived stress
- Is there a relationship between Sensate II utilization and postive & negative affect
- Is there a relationship between Sensate II utilization and sleep quality. It is hypothesized that significant relationship existis between Sensate II utilization and perceived lower stress, higher postive affect, lower negative affect, and sleep quality.
