Brief Summary

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

This will be a prospective multi-center controlled trial of 100 patients conducted to assess the real-world effectiveness of a mobile-delivered, prescription digital therapeutic (PDT) device delivering Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia using a novel patient-centered data-sharing platform with linkage to Fitbit for 61 weeks

Detailed Description

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

This is a multi-center, randomized, controlled trial to assess the real-world effectiveness of a mobile-delivered, prescription digital therapeutic (PDT) device delivering Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (i.e., Somryst, herein called PEAR-003b) using a novel patient-centered data sharing platform (called Hugo), with linkage to Fitbit (Inspire 2), among 100 patients with chronic insomnia. Half of the patients with insomnia will receive the PEAR-003b digital therapeutic with linkage to the Hugo platform and Fitbit (Inspire 2) and half of the patients with insomnia will not receive the PDT but will receive a Fitbit and be enrolled in the Hugo platform. The treatment duration will be 9 weeks with a 21-, 35-, and 61-week follow-up. All patients will be evaluated at baseline, as well as prompted to complete additional assessments at weeks 9, 21, 35, and 61. The PEAR-003b intervention will deliver CBT-I via mobile devices as 6 treatment core modules over 9 weeks. Additionally, the Hugo platform will be used to collect patient-generated engagement data, healthcare utilization outcomes, and patient activity/clinical outcomes. These real-world data points and trends collected as part of this pilot investigation will help inform a future larger healthcare effectiveness and outcomes research study.
