Development of a Mobile App for Non-Invasive Snoring Treatment and Progress Monitoring

Patients with snoring and sleep-related breathing issues face limited effective treatment options, difficulties in tracking progress, and inadequate communication channels with healthcare providers, leading to suboptimal outcomes and decreased adherence to treatment plans.

A healthcare organization specializing in sleep and respiratory disorder treatments seeking to enhance patient engagement through a mobile health application.

• Develop a user-friendly mobile application enabling patients to access personalized exercises and tips to reduce snoring.
• Implement progress tracking features including session data, exercise completion rates, and sleep pattern logs to motivate users and provide data for clinician review.
• Provide real-time feedback through in-app exercise demonstrations with mirror functionality ensuring proper technique.
• Allow adjustments of multimedia content to accommodate user preferences, increasing engagement.
• Enable healthcare professionals to access up-to-date patient statistics for treatment adjustments.
• Incorporate stress-reduction meditations and sleep hygiene education to improve overall sleep quality.

• Interactive Exercise Modules: Daily tailored exercises with difficulty progression based on user performance.
• Mirror Feature: Front camera integration allowing users to verify their exercise technique in real-time.
