A Mobile App for Hot Flashes and Sleep Disturbances

"The Evia program includes three mayor components, 1. A hypnotherapy program for the reduction of hot flashes, 2. Educational readings on hot flashes and menopausal-related topics, 3. Daily hot flash tracker.~The hypnotherapy is delivered in short, daily 10-20 minute audio recordings that involve numerous suggestions for coolness and relaxation (i.e., cool breeze, snowy mountain, deep lake) for a period of five weeks. The hypnotherapy program is based on previous randomized controlled trials for the reduction of hot flashes (Elkins et al., 2008; Elkins et al., 2013)."

Data collection of hot flash severity and frequency will mirror the hot flashes daily tracker offered by the intervention group (Evia app), and account for time and structured attention control while removing any potential therapeutic effects.
