CBT vs SalusLink

CBT-i Coach is for people who are engaged in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia with a health provider, or who have experienced symptoms of insomnia and would like to improve their sleep habits. The app will guide you through the process of learning about sleep, developing positive sleep routines, and improving your sleep environment. It provides a structured program that teaches strategies proven to improve sleep and help alleviate symptoms of insomnia. CBT-i Coach is intended to augment face-to-face care with a healthcare professional. It can be used on its own, but it is not intended to replace therapy for those who need it. CBT-i Coach is based on the therapy manual, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia in Veterans, by Rachel Manber, Ph.D., Leah Friedman, Ph.D., Colleen Carney, Ph.D., Jack Edinger, Ph.D., Dana Epstein, Ph.D., Patricia Haynes, Ph.D., Wilfred Pigeon, Ph.D. and Allison Siebern, Ph.D. CBT-i has been shown to be efficacious for insomnia for both Veterans and civilians. CBT-i Coach was a collaborative effort between VA’s National Center for PTSD, Stanford School of Medicine, and DoD’s National Center for Telehealth and Technology. CBT-i Coach works with the Apple Health app and Fitbit.

SalusLink looks after the people you love when you cannot be there. Every day, a warm phone call checks in with your parent or grandparent: how they slept, how they are feeling, whether they took their medicines, whether anything hurts. Their account is set up once in the app, often together with family. After that, day to day, the phone rings and they talk. Opening the app is always there for them, never required. You see what matters, without hovering. A calm daily picture when everything is fine, and a clear alert when something needs attention: a fall, worsening symptoms, missed medicines, or a whole day of silence. Alerts tell you what was observed and what to do about it, and they resolve honestly when things settle. Before a doctor visit, generate the Monthly Health Summary: a one-page PDF of the last 30 days. Symptoms and how they trended, medicines and how consistently they were taken, sleep and mood, Apple Health measurements, and how the check-in calls themselves have sounded compared to their own usual. Every number is computed from the record, dated, and ready to hand across the desk. Living independently? SalusLink works for one, too. In AI Companion Mode your check-ins are yours alone, with one optional outside contact we call only if we cannot reach you. Also included: - Medication reminders with an honest record, including when and why a medicine stopped - Google Calendar sync: doctor visits appear automatically, and calls politely avoid your plans - Apple Health integration for steps, heart rate, sleep, and more (optional, off by default) - Family sharing with clear roles: who can see the record, and who we call first SalusLink surfaces patterns. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose. Health information stays private, is never sold, and is shared only with the family members your loved one lets in.
