Sleep apps: current limitations and challenges
Sleep app ownership is increasing exponentially, due to their accessibility and ease-of-use. However, there are several concerns regarding the use of sleep apps. Few sleep apps demonstrate empirical evidence to support their claims, and if they do, this evidence can be based on significant methodological limitations. In addition, there are data privacy concerns with regards to sleep apps, which share sensitive user data with business and marketing partners, unbeknownst to their users. Moreover, sleep apps may increase engagement with healthcare professionals, which may place additional strain on under-pressure sleep services. This would be compounded by the fact that some sleep apps produce many false positives, and clinicians would need more time to analyze the data provided by these apps. In the future, sleep apps must undergo rigorous validation studies and grant more autonomy to their users over how their data is shared.
