Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with a clinical diagnosis of insomnia who can cooperate with completing questionnaire surveys and who do not have other primary sleep disorders or excluded medication/substance use are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
People with other diagnosed sleep disorders (like obstructive sleep apnea, REM behavior disorder, or restless legs), sleep problems secondary to organic disease, current alcohol abuse, or use of excluded stimulants/medications are unlikely to benefit from this program.

What this trial studies
This interventional study compares an intelligent digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (dCBT-I) diagnostic-and-treatment model with traditional treatment at a single tertiary hospital. Adults with a clinical diagnosis of insomnia who can complete questionnaires are enrolled, while people with other primary sleep disorders, substance abuse, certain medications, or sleep problems secondary to organic disease are excluded. Participants receive either the intelligent dCBT-I pathway or usual care and complete clinical and health-economic outcome measures. The protocol focuses on both symptom improvement and cost-effectiveness of the digital approach.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could expand access to personalized CBT-I, improve sleep outcomes for patients, and lower overall treatment costs.
How similar studies have gone: Multiple trials have shown that internet-based CBT-I improves insomnia symptoms, although fully integrated intelligent diagnostic-and-treatment models with formal health-economic evaluation are less widely tested.
