Glad that this resonates with you! The long waiting time it takes to see a specialist is exactly why we decided to build this app. My primary care doctor actually told me that he was often forced to choose between putting his patients with insomnia on months-long waiting list to see a therapist (which is the recommended first line treatment) and prescribing sleeping pills, and neither is desirable. Many of the sleep therapists we worked with to develop the program have also told us that they are so backed up with requests for sleep help, especially during COVID.

We used Flutter for the mobile app, and it's Django in the backend with Postgres as our database. Our infrastructure is hosted on GCP. This is actually my first time building on flutter and was pleasantly surprised by how solid the developer experience was. I was choosing between react native and flutter, but had a terrible experience with react native for one of my projects back in college, so decided to give flutter a try.
