LIFT is a remote care program and research study powered by
Multiple versions of LIFT are currently being researched:
A Self-directed Mobile Mindfulness Intervention to Address Distress and Burnout in Frontline Healthcare Workers (LIFT-HCW)
“This is a pilot randomized waitlist control trial assessing if the feasibility of using a mobile mindfulness app to treat emotional distress and burnout amongst nurses taking care of COVID-19 patients. This trial will help inform the study team if dissemination the intervention to a large number of nurses in a short time period is feasible, and if the intervention has evidence of a clinical impact.” (Source: NCT04816708)
Optimizing a Mobile Mindfulness Intervention for ICU Survivors (LIFT2)
“This is a factorial experimental trial involving adult survivors of cardiorespiratory failure treated in intensive care units (ICUs) that is conceptualized as the Optimization Phase of a multiphase optimization strategy (MOST) framework. This will allow optimization of a mobile mindfulness intervention by comparing eight different iterations across domains including impact on symptoms, feasibility, acceptability, usability, scalability, and cost.” (Source: NCT04038567)
Lift Mobile Mindfulness for COVID-19 Distress Symptoms (LIFTCOVID)
“This is a randomized clinical trial (RCT) nested within the NIH PETAL Network’s COVID cohort study (BLUE CORAL [Biology and Longitudinal Epidemiology: COVID Observational Study]) of patients hospitalized for COVID-19-related illness. COVID-19 patients enrolled in BLUE CORAL with elevated distress symptoms 1 month post-discharge will be randomized to either the Lift mobile app intervention or a usual care control.” (Source: NCT04581200)
