Your schedule changes every week. Your health plan should too.
The Canadian guidelines suggest at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity a week, strength work 2 days a week, and 7 to 9 hours of good sleep. On a rotation of days, evenings, and nights, that's hard to plan.
Plans built for a 9 to 5 week fall apart after a run of nights. You end up guessing when to move, when to sleep, and whether you're even close.
Three steps to a week that fits
Add your shifts
Tap in your days, evenings, nights, and days off. Repeat your rotation so you're not entering it every month.
Set your goals
Answer a few quick questions about how you move, how you sleep, and what you'd like more of. Connect your phone or watch if you want to.
Get your week
Clinistride fits activity and sleep around your shifts and tells you why each one lands where it does. Miss a session and it quietly moves to another day.
What's in the app
The first version focuses on two things, movement and sleep.
Activity plan
Sessions placed on the days and times that work with your shifts. Most of it goes on your days off, short bouts count, and every session tells you why it's there.
Sleep plan
Sleep windows across your whole roster, a short nap before your first night, and a plan for switching into and out of nights. No notifications while you sleep, day or night.
Health data sync
Connect Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android, and your workouts, steps, and sleep come in on their own. Garmin data comes in through them too. Nothing is read without your permission, and you can disconnect any time.
Voice logging
Tap Log and say what you did, like “25 minute walk after my shift and a nap before nights.” Check it, tap save, and you're done. Your voice is turned into text on your phone and the audio is never stored. Typing works too.
For everyone who works shifts in healthcare
Nurses, physicians, residents, students, LPNs, health care aides, and allied health. If your week runs on a rotation, Clinistride is for you.
The first group to try it will be early-career nurses in Western Canada. From there, it opens up to everyone.
Built on guidelines, not guesswork
Every plan starts from two trusted sources.
Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines
For adults 18 to 64, the guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity a week, muscle-strengthening activities at least 2 days a week, and 7 to 9 hours of good-quality sleep on a regular basis.

Shift-work sleep consensus guidelines
Shriane and colleagues published consensus sleep guidelines for shift workers in SLEEP in 2023. They recommend planning sleep across your whole roster, taking a short nap before your first night shift, planning the switch into and out of nights, and keeping naps short, about 15 to 20 minutes, when they aren't your main sleep.
Clinistride shares general information, not medical advice.

Built by a nurse
Hi, I'm Dawson Sheehan. I'm a registered nurse and graduate researcher, and I'm building Clinistride as a not-for-profit.
I know what it's like to fit a workout and a decent sleep around days, evenings, and nights. I've watched colleagues run on empty for the same reason, and every app I tried assumed a 9 to 5 week.
My graduate research looks at physical activity in nurses. Clinistride is a separate project, but it starts from the same question. How do we make movement and sleep fit the shifts we actually work?
It's free, it always will be, and your data stays yours.
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Clinistride is free for everyone, always. There's no paid tier, no ads, and no data sales. It's a not-for-profit project.
When can I get it?
Clinistride is being built now and is coming soon to iPhone and Android. We don't have a launch date yet, and we'd rather get it right than rush it.
How will I know when it launches?
Follow @clinistride on Instagram, or check back here. We'll share the news as soon as it's in the App Store and Google Play.
I'm not a nurse. Is it for me?
Yes. Clinistride is for every healthcare worker who works shifts, from students to physicians.
Is this a research study?
No. Clinistride is not part of any research study, and it isn't used to recruit for one. It's separate from Dawson's graduate research.
Is this medical advice?
No. Clinistride shares general information about movement and sleep, based on Canadian guidelines and shift-work sleep research. It doesn't diagnose or treat anything. The app starts with a short safety check, and if anything comes up it suggests talking with a qualified professional first. For any health concern, talk to your own healthcare provider.
Will my employer see my data?
No. Your employer never sees your data. We don't run ads, and we never sell it.
Do I need a smartwatch?
No. If you have a watch or phone that syncs with Apple Health or Health Connect, your workouts and sleep can come in on their own. If not, tap Log and say what you did, or type it.
