Digital Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (dCBT-I) is a cost-effective and viable method for delivering CBT-I at scale, potentially reducing healthcare expenditures.
If you cannot access a therapist for CBT-I, look for validated digital CBT-I programs. They are increasingly recognized as cost-effective and can provide the same core therapeutic benefits.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
Recent data indicate that treatment using digital CBT-I reduces healthcare expenditure, and Markov health economic modelling indicates that digital CBT-I may be highly cost-effective when offered at scale.
