Summary
This trial is testing an AI-powered device to help young adult cancer survivors with chronic sleep disorders using cognitive behavioral therapy. #CBTI #VAVA #SleepDisorders
Who is the study for?
This trial is for young adult cancer survivors aged 18-29 who suffer from chronic insomnia. Participants must have a history of any type or stage of cancer and an internet router at home. They should be experiencing less sleep than recommended for their age over the past 3 months. Those with acute medical/psychiatric disorders, developmental disorders, or a life expectancy under 12 months cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the VAVA prototype, a voice-activated virtual assistant designed to deliver Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). The goal is to see if this device can help improve sleep among young adults who survived cancer and are struggling with chronic sleep issues.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves using a virtual assistant device to provide therapy, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating in this trial.
