PMH47 THE IMPACT OF A DIGITAL SLEEP-IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM ON HEALTH CARE COSTS
Value in Health V22, SUPPLEMENT 3, S689, November 2019

• Access to non-pharmacological interventions for insomnia is limited, despite evidence for their effectiveness. This is due in part to a shortage of trained providers. Digital cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (dCBT-I), which requires less input per session, is therefore an attractive complement or substitute to face-to-face cognitive behavioural therapy. Sleepio is a self-help programme for sleep improvement, which has been shown to improve sleep quality. However, there is little evidence available regarding its impact on health care use. In this study, we sought to identify whether providing access to Sleepio results in a change in the trend of patients' primary care costs.
