On this day, we met with the hosts of the podcast “O Teu Mal é Sono”, both specialists in the field of sleep. The meeting began with a brief presentation of the project and a clarification of doubts. We also took note of the specialists’ opinions regarding the InsomniaInt system.
Key Points Discussed:
-
Integration of Cognitive Therapy: They suggested incorporating tips and lessons from cognitive behavioral therapy into the app, as this is an essential step in treating insomnia. Consulting psychologists in the field would be important for this.
-
Shift Workers: Shift workers make up a significant portion of the population and often experience symptoms similar to those caused by insomnia. Unlike insomnia patients, there is no product specifically designed and marketed for them. Our project is a great fit for this group, as it aims to control external variables, which are the main factors affecting them. Insomnia, on the other hand, is more difficult to address because it involves additional causes beyond these variables.
The two specialists also expressed their willingness to support the project in the future, particularly in helping to establish connections with patients.
