Health specialists take care of us, but who takes care about them? These professionals are the most vulnerable to suffer the increasingly common syndrome known as Burnout. Burn-out is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.
Objective:
The objective of this research is to develop a useful app providing burnout self-diagnosis and tracking through a simple, intuitive and user-friendly interface.
Methods:
We present BurnOut App, an Android an iOS app developed using the Xamarin and MvvmCross platforms that allows users to detect critical cases of psychological discomfort implementing the Goldberg and Copenhagen Burnout Inventory tests.
Results:
BurnOut App is robust, user-friendly and efficient. We have demonstrated the good performance of the app by comparing its features with similar apps in the literature.
Conclusions:
BurnOut App is a very useful app for health specialists or users in general to early detect burnout and track their evolution.
