Summary
1. What is SleepUp?
SleepUp is a digital platform that improves your sleep through lifestyle tips, music, guided meditation, mindfulness and virtual therapy. We monitor, analyze and track your progress with journaling, testing, reporting and wearable technologies.
2. Who is Dr Luna?
Dra Luna is the virtual assistant of SleepUp. She will guide you throughout the treatment, like a virtual therapist, through notifications sent via the application.
3. What techniques are used by Sleepup?
SleepUp uses techniques of CBTi (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia), as well as Mindfulness MBCT (Mindfulness -Based Cognitive Therapy and MBSR - Mindfulness -Based Stress Reduction).
4. Does Sleepup diagnose insomnia?
SleepUp evaluates behaviors and complaints related to insomnia, as well as the severity of associated symptoms. However, the formal diagnosis of insomnia is clinical and should be made by a qualified doctor or in pharmacies and drugstores that offer digital therapy of Sleepup. In pharmacies and drugstores, you can do insomnia tests and home examination to find out if you have insomnia or apnea.
5. Does Sleepup replace polysomnography?
Our application does not replace polysomnography. Firstly because this exam is the method of choice for the diagnosis of many sleep disorders and Sleepup is an option already for the treatment of disorders and sleep complaints.
The diagnosis is clinical and needs to be performed by a specialized doctor or a pharmaceutical clinic that offers digital sleep therapy. Soon, Sleepup will launch the track for home sleep examination with the electroencephalogram (EEG) range, which will assist in the clinical diagnosis of your sleep complaint.
6. Will Sleepup give information about the sleep phases?
The only certified mode for evaluation and quantification of sleep stage is polysomnography. Applications or devices that offer information about sleep stages are usually not validated and are subject to errors and inaccuracies. In the currently available version, Sleepup will not offer information about the phases and stages of sleep, due to the commitment to offer reliable information only. However, we offer estimates about sleep stages by integrating with Samsung Health.
