Use of the digital sleep health intervention KANOPEE is associated with significant and clinically meaningful reductions in insomnia symptom severity, according to a study published online 28 July in the Journal of Clinical Medicine.

Pierre Philip, MD, PhD, from the University of Bordeaux in France, and colleagues compared the benefits of KANOPEE, a smartphone application dealing with insomnia complaints, to another app proposing an electronic sleep diary, named My Sleep Diary.

The analysis included individuals who downloaded one of the apps between December 2020 and October 2021 (535 users of KANOPEE and 489 users of My Sleep Diary).

The researchers found that KANOPEE users improved their Insomnia Severity Index score significantly more than sleep diary users.
