Insomniacs awaken to new ways to find sleep

Digital therapy is creating new treatment options for health issues such as insomnia, a malady that is on the rise. With that, businesses are opening their eyes to new opportunities.

Digital therapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy and sound and light stimulation, is designed to help people get better sleep. Cognitive behavioral therapy challenges negative thought patterns to alter unwanted behavioral patterns.

Data from the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry showed that between January and August, 17 clinical tests related to digital therapy for sleep disorders were registered. The number exceeded 14 registered for all of 2021 and 15 registered in 2020.
