Large employers such as LinkedIn, Boston Medical Center, and the Henry Ford Health System are offering Sleepio to their employees, reports MedCityNews.
“This opportunity with NGBH enables us to improve the health of millions of Americans who may be suffering from poor sleep,” said Hames, who co-founded Big Health in the UK with Oxford University Professor Colin Espie, a Scottish sleep medicine researcher and author. Espie designed Sleepio, employing cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to assist in improving sleep quality and duration without drugs. The program uses an automated virtual therapist to guide users.
