Q & A Spotlight

Chinyere Omeogu, MD, Occupational Medicine Resident at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, and the Philadelphia Veteran's Administration Hospital
The UPenn PRC recently gave you a grant to study a cognitive behavioral intervention to address insomnia. How will you test this?
I’ll be conducting a pilot study with nursing staff at the Crescenz Veterans Administration Medical Center. The study participants will complete a baseline tool (the Insomnia Severity Index, or ISI), use the CBTi Coach for 6 weeks, and then be reassessed to determine if the mobile app has significantly improved their insomnia.
