Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Insomnia can be a chronic problem that leads to significant daytime fatigue, stress and numerous negative health consequences including depression. Advanced Medical Electronics, in partnership with researchers are the University of Pennsylvania, propose developing an innovative, non-drug, low-risk, intervention that can be implemented on mobile devices for the treatment of insomnia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Open-label pilot study in 20 older adults with insomnia (sleep onset latency\>30 minutes for at least 3 nights a week) with a two week intervention period.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1\) Sleep onset latency \> 30 min for at least 3 nights per week

Exclusion Criteria

3. History of a diagnosed non-insomnia sleep disorder, such as sleep apnea or circadian rhythm disorder
4. Upper extremity motor impairment that would preclude MBAT therapy (e.g., quadriplegia).
