ABSTRACT
Sleep plays an essential role in the overall health and wellbeing. Sleep quality might adversely affect neurodevelopment disorders such as cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorders, and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. However, the effect of sleep quality on the different neurodevelopment disorder is not clear. We developed a web app, called Sleep--Wake--Behaviour Application (SWAPP) which allows caregivers and clinicians to log and analyze sleep and daytime behaviours of children with sleep disorders. SWAPP is developed to serve two purposes. First, it allows the caregivers and clinicians to collect and analyze data whenever it is necessary. Second, it allows clinicians an opportunity to analyze the collected data to understand the relationship between sleep, tailored interventions, and neurodevelopmental disorders better. We present the design of the SWAPP and discuss how it can be used for implementing e-coaching for caregivers of kids with neurodevelopmental disorders.
