Sleep mHealth Applications and Behavior Change Techniques Evaluation.
Objectives: Mobile health apps may be an effective way to increase sleep management skills. Although little has been documented about the content and quality of available sleep management apps, providers often make app recommendations to help with sleep self-management. The objective of this study was to systematically evaluate the content and quality of commercially available sleep apps.
Methods: Following a systematic search of the Apple App and Google Play stores, 56 sleep management apps were evaluated. App content was evaluated using the taxonomy of behavior change techniques (BCTs), and app quality was assessed using the Mobile App Rating Scale.
Results: Sleep management apps included 0-15 BCTs (M = 6.89) and 0-9 sleep BCTs (M = 4.87). App quality ranged from 2.51 to 4.80 (M = 3.78) out of 5.00. Sleepiest Sleep Sounds Stories, ShutEye: Sleep Tracker, and Mintal Tracker: Sleep Recorder included the highest number of sleep BCTs and highest quality scores.
Conclusions: While the content and quality of sleep management apps is variable, the findings are promising as many apps included a high number of BCTs and high quality. Although evidence of efficacy through randomized controlled trials is necessary to establish efficacy, this review can aid in app selection in the interim.
期刊介绍:
Behavioral Sleep Medicine addresses behavioral dimensions of normal and abnormal sleep mechanisms and the prevention, assessment, and treatment of sleep disorders and associated behavioral and emotional problems. Standards for interventions acceptable to this journal are guided by established principles of behavior change. Intending to serve as the intellectual home for the application of behavioral/cognitive science to the study of normal and disordered sleep, the journal paints a broad stroke across the behavioral sleep medicine landscape. Its content includes scholarly investigation of such areas as normal sleep experience, insomnia, the relation of daytime functioning to sleep, parasomnias, circadian rhythm disorders, treatment adherence, pediatrics, and geriatrics. Multidisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome. The journal’ domain encompasses human basic, applied, and clinical outcome research. Behavioral Sleep Medicine also embraces methodological diversity, spanning innovative case studies, quasi-experimentation, randomized trials, epidemiology, and critical reviews.
