What this trial studies
KANOPEE is a free smartphone application designed to provide screening and autonomous digital interventions aimed at reducing psycho-social stress and its effects on sleep and behavior. Developed by sleep specialists and psychiatrists, the app offers personalized interventions based on user responses to standardized questionnaires.

The study aims to evaluate the app's efficacy among the French general population experiencing psycho-social stress.
