Objectives : Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is an effective non-pharmacologic treatment without the risk of dependence or adverse effects associated with hypnotics. This article aims to describe the development of smartphone application for CBT-I of patients with insomnia.
Methods : Chonnam National University Hospital and Gwangju Bukgu-Community Mental Health Center developed and launched a smartphone application (HYM-Sleep) for CBT-I. The development of the application involved psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, psychologists, and software technicians from a software development company (Goosl Corp.).
Results : Development of the HYM-Sleep application was based on theory of CBT-I including sleep restriction, stimulus control, sleep hygiene, relaxation, and cognitive restructuring of insomnia. This application is composed of eight main modules including 'Sleep assessment', 'Sleep diary', 'Sleep hygiene education', 'Sleep habits correction', 'Relaxation training', 'Restless legs syndrome screening', 'Cognitive therapy', and 'App introduction'. Checking on this application by client is shared with case manager/therapist, who can provide feedback in real time.
Conclusion : This application is expected to have potential to enhance CBT-I through technical aid. In addition, this application's interactive function between client and therapist is the key characteristic that distinguishes it from other mobile application. This smartphone application may contribute to further development of various psychological and technical intervention of insomnia.
