How does attention hold up across a clinical shift?
I'm Sharon Phillips, founder of Deliberate Awareness — a platform being built for front-line clinical staff, grounded in the science of attentional recovery.
This is the first of two research rounds. Round 1 captures your baseline experience — how attention and cognitive load feel during a typical shift. Round 2 will follow once the platform is built, measuring what changes after the experience.
What you receive
Early access to the Deliberate Awareness platform when it launches — and a summary of what this research finds across clinical roles and settings. Your perspective directly shapes what gets built.
Seven questions. Approximately 3 minutes. One question at a time.
Round 1 — Baseline
1 of 7
Mental Demand
How mentally demanding is a typical shift for you?
Consider the thinking, deciding, calculating, and attending required to do your work.

Little effortSignificant effort
Depletion
How depleted do you typically feel by the midpoint of a shift?
Consider irritability, reduced patience, or the sense that focus is harder to access.

Recovery Access
During a typical shift, how often do you get a genuine moment to mentally reset?

Round 1 complete.
Your baseline responses are recorded. Round 2 will reach you when the platform is ready for your evaluation — you will be among the first to experience it.
What happens next
You will receive early access to Deliberate Awareness at launch, and a summary of what this research finds across clinical roles. The people who shaped this platform will be the first to use it.
