This month will see the launch of a new app for sleep training that aims to improve productivity at work.
Dayzz was created in July 2017 by a group comprising tech entrepreneurs and scientists. What is the goal?To improve the quality of workers’ sleep and reduce healthcare costs for employers.
GalYankovitz from Dayzzs, Head of Marketing and Strategy, said that the app gathers data from many sources (including mobile behavior tools and sleep monitoring sensors) and then integrates it with an algorithm that uses big-data analysis.Dayzz then matches users with a customized training plan that addresses their individual sleep needs, lifestyle, and goals..
Yankovitz explained that the treatment can be used by anyone with sleeping difficulties or who wants to improve their experience.
This Is Not Your Ordinary Sleep App
Dayzz believes it is filling a critical gap in healthcare by creating a one-stop shop for sleep improvement. This will allow people to better understand the impact of slumber on their lives.Yankovitz states that Dayzz begins with a sleep analysis to determine a user’s specific habits. Then, Dayzz categorizes the training plan into four domains: Environment, Days, Nights and Mind.
The Days domain focuses on behaviors that can impact sleep. These include light exposure, caffeine, alcohol consumption and nutrition. The Nights section of the program examines the behaviors that can affect our sleep while we are in the middle of it. These include sleeping positions and schedules. The Environment section examines your sleeping environment and helps you optimize it for light, temperature and noise. Finally, the Mind section addresses psychological factors that can positively affect sleep such as relaxation and meditation to reduce stress and anxiety.
Dayzz users will be able to receive reports for their entire company. This includes information on employees’ engagement with Dayzz and data about overall costs, productivity, and the prevalence of different sleep issues. The team stated that employees’ individual data regarding sleep training will be kept anonymous and reiterated their commitment to keeping the data confidential.
Save Money And Sleep Better
Dayzz offers its product to U.S. employers to help support workers and reduce healthcare and economic costs.As do many researchers, the team believes that better sleep can increase productivity, reduce days off work and decrease healthcare costs..
Companies now realize the importance of employee health for their success. Yankovitz stated that they understand that poor sleep can lead to poor performance.
Insufficient sleep can cause absenteism, lower productivity, and higher accident risks.This can have a huge economic impact on the workplace. Recent statistics support this assertion. The annual insomnia cost in the U.S. is approximately billion. This includes lost productivity, healthcare usage, and accidents.
Yankovitz summarised this point:
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine currently estimates that between 50 and 70 million Americans suffer from wakefulness disorders or chronic sleep problems. Dayzz can help reduce these costs by offering personalized, effective sleep training plans and ongoing guidance from a sleep coach.
Dayzz is currently running a clinical study at a U.S. medical research institution to support its claims. The app will be available to the general public in conjunction with the sleep trial.
