Overview

Systematic review demonstrates mobile app interventions significantly reduce insomnia severity in adults, indicating a viable alternative to traditional CBT-I therapy.

Key Points

  • Mobile app interventions effectively reduce insomnia severity in adults, with a pooled standardized mean difference of -0.81.
  • Thirteen randomized controlled trials involving 2,573 participants met inclusion criteria, confirming the treatment's efficacy.
  • Secondary outcomes include modest improvements in sleep onset latency and wake after sleep onset, with minor adverse events reported.
  • Findings support integrating mobile apps into care strategies, especially where access to therapist-guided treatment is limited.
