Cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the first-line treatment for patients with insomnia disorder, including patients with severe mental disorders and comorbid insomnia. However, CBT-I is not sufficiently implemented in acute psychiatry settings. To make this treatment more accessible, we are currently adapting CBT-I to the needs of patients with severe psychiatric disorders in the form of a treatment program entitled SLEEPexpert. A core element of SLEEPexpert is keeping a sleep diary and restricting time in bed to increase sleep pressure. Here, we present a mobile application which supports the implementation of SLEEPexpert. The app is kept very simple, specifically designed for the target user group, and offers four main functionalities: entering information into the sleep diary, calculating the sleep efficiency and adapting the sleep window, delivering information on sleep and sleep disorders and accessing the recorded data in the sleep diary. Currently, we are preparing a usability test for the app aiming at fixing usability issues before running a clinical trial to assess the efficacy of this mHealth intervention.
失眠的认知行为疗法（CBT-I）是失眠症患者的一线治疗方法，包括患有严重精神障碍和共病失眠的患者。然而，CBT-I在急性精神病学环境中并未得到充分实施。为了使这种治疗方法更容易获得，我们目前正在以一个名为SLEEPexpert的治疗项目的形式，使CBT-I适应严重精神疾病患者的需求。SLEEPexpert的一个核心要素是记录睡眠日记并限制卧床时间以增加睡眠压力。在此，我们展示一款支持SLEEPexpert实施的移动应用程序。该应用程序非常简单，是专门为目标用户群体设计的，并且提供四个主要功能：将信息录入睡眠日记、计算睡眠效率并调整睡眠窗口、提供有关睡眠和睡眠障碍的信息以及访问睡眠日记中记录的数据。目前，我们正在为该应用程序准备一项可用性测试，旨在在进行临床试验以评估这种移动健康干预措施的疗效之前解决可用性问题。
