Project poster

Sleep deficiency affects over 20% of the estimated 300,000 children with arthritis nationwide. The Sleep Self-Management Intervention for Children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis study at the UW School of Nursing is developing a web-based learning application that will help children be better equipped to improve their sleep quality. The SleepWell skill for Alexa was researched and designed in tandem with this study, for use as a potential tool to provide additional ad-hoc support with sleep. The voice user interface design of SleepWell includes guidance for relaxation techniques, a soothing sound and music library, and tools for developing healthy sleep habits.
