Development of a Mobile App (iCANSleep) to Treat Insomnia in Cancer Survivors: User-Centered Design Study
Cancer survivors desire an insomnia treatment app that is simple, user-friendly, evidence-based, convenient, and secure. The iCANSleep app represents the merging of mHealth principles and best practices with evidence-based insomnia care, allowing for an intervention with minimal access barriers related to cost, geography, and provider availability. Feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of the intervention will be maximized by following a UCD framework involving the engagement of end users at every design stage.
