Being a healthcare professional can be a uniquely rewarding calling. However, the demands of training and practice can lead to chronic distress and serious psychological, interpersonal and personal-health burdens. Although higher burnout, depression and suicide rates have been reported in healthcare professionals, only a minority receives treatment. Concerns regarding confidentiality, stigma, potential career implications, and cost and time constraints are cited as key barriers. Web-based and mobile applications have been shown to mitigate stress, burnout, depression, and suicidal ideation among several populations and may circumvent these barriers. Here, we reviewed published data on such resources and selected a small sample that readily can be used by healthcare providers. We searched PubMed for articles evaluating stress, burnout, depression and suicide prevention or intervention for healthcare students or providers and identified 5 categories of programs with significant effectiveness: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (online), meditation, mindfulness, breathing, and relaxation techniques. Using these categories, we searched for stress-, burnout-, depression-, and suicide prevention- web-based (through Google and beacon.anu.edu.au--a wellness resource website) and mobile applications (Apple and mobile.va.gov/appstore) and identified 36 resources to further evaluate based on relevance, applicability to healthcare providers (confidentiality, convenience and cost) and the strength of findings supporting their effectiveness. We selected 7 resources under 5 general categories designed to foster wellness and reduce burnout, depression, and suicide risk among healthcare workers: breathing (Breath2Relax), meditation (Headspace, guided meditation audios), web-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MoodGYM, Stress Gym) and suicide prevention apps (Stay Alive, Virtual Hope Box). This list serves as a starting point to enhance coping with stressors as a healthcare student or professional in order to help mitigate burnout, depression and suicidality. Next steps include adapting digital health strategies to specifically fit the needs of healthcare providers, with the ultimate goal of facilitating in-person care when warranted.
