Periodic Reporting for period 1 - INSOMNIA BEAT IT (Integrated Network of Sleep-Optimizing Modules for Norm-Informed Adaptive Behavioural, Environmental And Therapeutic Internet Training)
Período documentado: 2017-05-01 hasta 2018-10-31
Insomnia is highly prevalent and can be ameliorated by its recommended treatment, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which moreover improves depression outcomes. Current health infrastructures however cannot supply CBT for the ±10% of the population suffering from insomnia. Internet-based self-help could solve this bottleneck, but available implementations utilize only a fraction of the evidence-based effective intervention possibilities, are not equipped to support personalized approaches, and do not harness the potential to support large-scale research. The present PoC project has build an Integrated Network of Sleep-Optimizing Modules for Norm-Informed Adaptive Behavioural, Environmental And Therapeutic Internet Training (INSOMNIA BEAT IT) to solve these shortcomings and allow for the implementation of personally optimized combination of self help modules to promote health in general and to prevent depression in particular. It has a high potential for widespread us by health professionals and companies that may want to offer the platform to their employees to promote health and well-being.
