The quality of life for children with neurodevelopmental conditions and/or mental health comorbidities is often significantly impacted by sleep problems, which can have detrimental consequences on daytime behaviours.
There is a need to better support communication between caregivers and care providers, and to provide caregivers with a tool to better document and track their concerns to help with the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders.
SWAPP creates an intuitive, user-friendly web and mobile application environment which allows parents and caregivers to better capture, monitor and share their child’s challenging or disruptive sleep/wake behaviours with their care providers via narratives, physiological data and video clips.
This app will enable home-based monitoring of therapeutic interventions, support optimization of medication dosages and monitor adverse drug reactions; thus, individualize therapies, increase efficiency and reduce health care expenses.
This is a place for parents and caregivers of the child to document the child’s day and night time behaviours, and medication usage.
• Quick and simple tracking process
• Captures the child’s day and night behaviour
• Imports data from wearable or other platforms
• Visualized as daily timeline
This is a place for caregivers to write down notes and questions for the upcoming medical appointment.
• Available in text, photo, audio and video formats
• Save to the top of Timeline
Caregivers are able to view timely report of the child’s behaviour here. The collected data will be analyzed to identify the relationship between medication, daytime activity and sleep quality.
• Graphic summary
• Icon of author’s initial
• Narrative medical history
Caregivers can export the collected data from history and share it with the caring team. This can be the starting point for assessment and supporting documents for new interventions.
