Ageing is often associated with sleep disorders. This study aimed to describe the effect of using an Android application on family support in the sleep patterns of the elderly. The study used a cross-sectional survey design conducted among the elderly to assess the use of android-based applications in identifying the sleep pattern experienced and the perceived-family support. The research sample was 98 people selected by convenience sampling and snowball sampling techniques. Researchers enhanced family support through an Android app. The mean value of sleep patterns before using the app was 4.25 and after using the app was 8.35. The correlation test showed that perceived-family support had a significantly strong correlation with sleep patterns with a positive correlation (correlation coefficient 0.779, p-value 0.001; Table 5). The higher the family support perceived by the elderly, the better their sleep pattern. The study concluded that the elderly at risk of dementia often experience disturbed sleep patterns. Families play an important role in helping the improvement of elderly sleep patterns. Android applications can be a technological innovation in increasing family support for the elderly.
