NightWare is an app that can only be used with a prescription

On Friday, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allowed the marketing of a new device intended for the temporary reduction in nightmare-related sleep disturbance. It can only be used with a prescription and only in adults 22 years of age or older who suffer from nightmare disorder or have nightmares from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The device provides a gentle vibration through touch based on an analysis of heart rate and movement during sleep.

Carlos Pena, Ph.D., director of the Office of Neurological and Physical Medicine Devices at the Center for Devices and Radiological Health from the FDA, has mentioned:

Sleep is an essential part of a person's daily routine. However, certain adults who have a nightmare disorder or who experience PTSD nightmares are unable to get the rest they need. Today's authorization offers a new option to low-risk treatment using digital technology in an effort to provide temporary relief from nightmare-related sleep disturbances.

The app received a 'Advance Device' designation. It is a process that is designed to accelerate the development and review of hardware and services that could provide effective treatment or diagnosis for life-threatening or irreversible diseases or conditions.
