Aims:
Pear Therapeutics is developing combination therapies for a variety of brain-related disorders including pain, sleep disturbances, depression, and anxiety. eFormulations are comprised of a software access code on the product packaging that provides access to Pear’s health apps. The patient takes the supplement or prescribed medication and simultaneously uses Pear’s games and apps, increasing efficacy, improving side effects, and enhancing compliance. This SMARTCAP project will develop a software product to enhance sleep initiation in hypervigilant chronic sleep restricted subjects and compare the use of zolpidem alone to the zolpidem plus software for sleep initiation time and sleep quality and duration.
