The post Belun in India first appeared on Belun Technology.

Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is a short, structured, evidence-based approach to cure insomnia. CBT-I explores the connection between how we think, what we do, and how we sleep. It is a multi-component treatment because it combines several different approaches, involving cognitive intervention, behavioral intervention, and psychoeducational intervention. During treatment, a trained CBT-I provider helps identify thoughts, feelings, and behaviors contributing to insomnia symptoms. The provider will examine the shared beliefs and emotions to see if they’re accurate and review the behaviors to see if they promote sleep. The process aims to clarify or reframe misconceptions and challenges in a way that is more conducive to restful sleep. Treatment often takes 6-8 sessions, although the length may vary depending on a person’s needs. 

CBT-I is a collaborative process, and the skills learned in sessions require practice. Homework is a common component of treatment.

Assignments in-between sessions may involve:

• Keeping a sleep diary.
• Practicing questioning automatic thoughts or beliefs when they arise.
• Improving sleep hygiene practices.

Access the patients’ sleep architecture
Belun® Ring can become a patient’s digital sleep diary. It records what happened every night. Does the patient have insomnia because they cannot fall asleep quickly, do not sleep well, or have difficulty falling asleep again after waking up? Adopting the ring empowers the doctor with quality data (Belun’s sleep data is medical grade) to determine the cause of insomnia more accurately, instead of relying solely on the patient’s description out of sheer memory or guessing. The ring is a digital tool providing scientific data to support diagnosis, thus improving clinical decision-making.

The post SLEEP 2022 Highlight 2 : Digital CBT-I and integrated with the EHR for treatment of chronic insomnia disorder first appeared on Belun Technology.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) susceptibility is influenced by physiology, genetics, and exposure. Physiology includes (1) Autonomic nervous system (ANS) responses: CV responses to respiratory events, arrhythmia, ischemia, and cardiac output; and (2) Sleep State dynamics. Genetics includes inflammation and angiogenesis, while exposures include smoking, diet, physical activity, etc.

Precision medicine has been a hot topic. During the talk, Susan Redline shared her vision of how “gender differences” can be a step towards precision sleep medicine. How additional parameters, including ANS response during respiratory events, hypoxic burden, and delta heart rate, can more accurately predict CVD risks. Dr. Redline concluded the keynote by calling for action in improving metrics that robustly identify individuals at risk for OSA-related CVD, including endotypes, physiological response markers, e.g., ANS, hypoxic burdens, delta heart rate, genetics, gender, etc. Last is the need and value of multi-disciplinary teamwork in physiology, epidemiology, genetics, and implementation science. Empowered by the FDA-cleared wearable (Belun® Ring) and its proprietary machine learning algorithms, the Belun Sleep Platform is capable of computing both the AHI of the users and the ANS response throughout the night, reflecting users’ ANS response to respiratory events. In addition, hypoxic burdens and delta heart rate will be new features in the product roadmap, which concur with Dr. Redline’s outlook.
