Cover Story: Insomnia seems to be related to disability, risk of injury, metabolic syndrome, risk for cardiovascular diseases, cognitive impairment, depression, and impaired quality of life.
Most treatment guidelines recommend non-pharmacologic approaches to insomnia, including sleep hygiene and behavioral methods, which can be used as supportive therapies. Among these, the success of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi) is supported by strong empirical evidence.
Currently, information and communication technologies (ICT) oﬀer a great deal of potential and can make very signiﬁcant diﬀerences in the lives of the elderly and their main caregivers.
The objective of this paper is to review ICT concepts to improve insomnia in elderly people. View this paper.
