Daylight is a prescription device delivering Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and can be made available on the order of a licensed healthcare provider. Daylight is a digital therapeutic intended to treat generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) by improving a patient's GAD symptoms as an adjunct to usual care in patients aged 22 years and older.
Daylight is a digital therapeutic designed to address the symptoms of adults with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques. The Daylight program is has been demonstrated to help improve symptoms of GAD, if followed correctly, and is supported by evidence from peer-reviewed studies and clinical trials. The program is delivered digitally through the Daylight iOS/Android apps, giving users easy access to effective techniques.
The document provided focuses on asserting the substantial equivalence of the Daylight device to a predicate device (Somryst) for regulatory clearance, primarily based on the similarity of their intended use, technological characteristics, and a clinical study demonstrating the efficacy of Daylight for its specific indication (Generalized Anxiety Disorder).
This type of submission document (510(k) Summary) does not typically contain detailed information about specific acceptance criteria for device performance in the same way one might describe the performance of a diagnostic AI algorithm against a set of quantitative metrics. Instead, "acceptance criteria" here refer to the overall regulatory requirements for establishing substantial equivalence and demonstrating safety and effectiveness for a digital therapeutic. The primary "proof" of the device meeting these criteria is via the clinical trial results.
Below is an interpretation of "acceptance criteria" in the context of this 510(k) and the information provided to substantiate that the device meets these criteria.
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for Daylight
Based on the 510(k) summary, the "acceptance criteria" are implicitly tied to demonstrating safety and effectiveness for the device's intended use and establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device. For a digital therapeutic, effectiveness is primarily demonstrated through clinical outcomes.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Given the nature of the device (a digital therapeutic delivering CBT for GAD), the acceptance criteria are not in the form of typical quantitative performance metrics like sensitivity/specificity for a diagnostic device. Instead, they relate to:
- Clinical Efficacy: Improvement in GAD symptoms.
- Safety: Acceptable adverse event profile.
- Substantial Equivalence: Alignment with predicate device in terms of intended use, technology, and risk profile.
| Acceptance Criterion (Implicit) | Reported Device Performance (from GATE Trial) |
|---|---|
| Primary Efficacy Endpoints: | |
| 1. Remission based on CGI-I scores of 1 or 2 (co-primary) | Week 10: Daylight: 71% remission (n=103)Psychoeducation Control: 35% remission (n=54)Odds Ratio (OR): 4.63; p<0.001 (95% CI: 2.85, 7.54)Week 24: Daylight: 78% remission (n=115)Psychoeducation Control: 52% remission (n=78)Odds Ratio (OR): 3.22; p<0.001 (95% CI: 1.95, 5.32) |
| 2. Patient-reported GAD symptom severity (GAD-7) (co-primary) | Mean GAD-7 Scores and Adjusted Differences (Daylight vs. Psychoeducation Control):Baseline: Daylight: 15.58 (SD=3.50), Control: 16.14 (SD=3.07)Week 6: Daylight: 8.82 (SD=4.50), Control: 12.45 (SD=4.35) --> Adjusted Difference: 3.42 (2.50, 4.34), Cohen's d: 1.04, p<0.001Week 10: Daylight: 7.88 (SD=4.76), Control: 11.68 (SD=4.42) --> Adjusted Difference: 3.58 (2.66, 4.50), Cohen's d: 1.09, p<0.001Week 24: Daylight: 7.23 (SD=4.88), Control: 10.68 (SD=4.73) --> Adjusted Difference: 3.15 (2.21, 4.09), Cohen's d: 0.96, p<0.001 (Daylight group observed to have significantly lower anxiety scores than the control group at all post-baseline time points). |
| Safety and Adverse Event Profile | One adverse event rated "probably" related to Daylight use (worsening panic attack severity). A few other events "possibly" related (panic attacks, depression symptoms, thoughts of death or suicide, etc.). Two serious adverse events (SAEs) reported in the Daylight arm were not related to device use or study participation. No unanticipated adverse device effects. Conclusion: Acceptable safety profile for intended use. |
| Software Verification and Validation | Completed and documented as recommended by FDA guidance for a Moderate level of concern device. |
| Substantial Equivalence | Daylight has identical intended use, nearly identical technological characteristics (SaMD, mobile platform, software architecture, prescription-only, adjunct use), and comparable software safety classification (Class B) to the predicate device, Somryst. The clinical data supports its safety and effectiveness for its specific indication (GAD) and does not raise different types of safety or effectiveness questions compared to the predicate. Conclusion: Substantially equivalent to Somryst. |
2. Sample Size and Data Provenance
- Test Set (Clinical Trial Data):
- Sample Size: 351 adults, randomized 1:1, with 175 assigned to Daylight and 176 to online anxiety psychoeducation.
- Data Provenance: Participants were recruited from across the United States via social media. The study was a two-arm, parallel group, randomized controlled trial (RCT), indicating prospective data collection.
3. Number of Experts and their Qualifications (for Ground Truth)
- Not applicable in this context. The device is a digital therapeutic for generalized anxiety disorder, and the "ground truth" for its effectiveness is based on patient-reported outcomes (GAD-7, PHQ-8, SCI-8, OASIS), and clinician-reported outcomes (CGI-I, CGI-S) from a Randomized Controlled Trial, rather than expert interpretation of images or other data typically requiring consensus for ground truth. The "experts" involved would be the clinicians conducting the CGI assessments and diagnosing GAD, but the document does not specify their number or qualifications.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Not applicable in this context. As the effectiveness is measured through standardized questionnaires and clinical scales in an RCT, there is no need for expert adjudication of cases/data points in the same way as, for example, reviewing medical images.
5. MRMC Comparative Effectiveness Study
- No, this was not an MRMC study. This was a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing a digital therapeutic (Daylight) to an active control (online anxiety psychoeducation).
- Effect Size of Human Readers Improvement: This concept is not relevant to this type of device or study. The study investigates the effect of the digital therapeutic on patient symptoms, not how AI assists human readers in a diagnostic task. The "human readers" in this context are the patients interacting with the digital therapeutic.
6. Standalone Performance Study
- Yes, in the sense that the clinical trial evaluated the performance of the Daylight algorithm/program as a standalone therapeutic intervention. The study compared Daylight (the intervention) to a psychoeducation control. The device is a "Software as a Medical Device (SaMD)" intended to treat GAD. Its performance is its ability to improve GAD symptoms.
- The study design evaluated the device's direct therapeutic effect on participants, not its ability to assist a human in performing a diagnostic or interpretive task.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
- Clinical Outcomes / Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) and Clinician-Reported Outcomes (CROs):
- Primary:
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item questionnaire (GAD-7) for patient-reported symptom severity.
- Clinical Global Impression - Improvement scale (CGI-I) for remission (scores of 1 or 2).
- Secondary:
- Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8) for depression symptoms.
- Sleep Condition Indicator (SCI-8) for insomnia symptoms.
- Clinical Global Impression - Severity (CGI-S) for anxiety severity.
- Overall Anxiety Severity and Impairment Scale (OASIS).
- Diagnosis of GAD at baseline according to DSM-5 criteria.
- Primary:
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
- Not explicitly stated in the 510(k) summary. For digital therapeutics based on established CBT principles, a traditional "training set" for a machine learning model might not be applicable in the same way it is for image-based AI diagnostics. The device's "training" might refer to the development and refinement of the CBT content and delivery structure, which is typically based on clinical psychology principles and past research, rather than a data-driven machine learning training set of patient data to optimize an algorithm. The clinical trial serves as the primary validation.
9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Not applicable / Not detailed in the document. As mentioned above, the "training set" concept is different for this type of device. The "ground truth" for developing the therapeutic content of Daylight would be the established principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for anxiety, supported by decades of psychological and clinical research. The document highlights that Daylight "is supported by evidence from peer-reviewed studies and clinical trials," implying that its efficacy framework is built upon existing scientific understanding of CBT. The GATE trial served as the definitive evaluation of the product's effectiveness as developed.

5. Intended use / Indications for use
Daylight is a prescription device delivering Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and can be made available on the order of a licensed healthcare provider. Daylight is a digital therapeutic intended to treat generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) by improving a patient's GAD symptoms as an adjunct to usual care in patients aged 22 years and older.
{4}------------------------------------------------
6. Substantial equivalence
Daylight has an identical intended use and nearly identical technological characteristics compared to the predicate device, Somryst. Like Somryst, Daylight delivers cognitive behavioral therapy for treatment of psychiatric disorders by way of an app provided as an adjunct to usual care by the patient's healthcare provider. The specific indication differs, in that Daylight is indicated for use in treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), not insomnia disorder. Patients can only access the product on the order of a licensed healthcare provider, who will themselves have access to patient progress through an online portal where salient patient information is provided. The software and clinical validation data demonstrate that Daylight doesn't raise different types of questions of safety or effectiveness. Thus, considering available performance testing, Daylight is considered substantially equivalent to Somryst.

7. Performance data
7.1. Summary of nonclinical performance data
Software verification and validation testing was completed and documentation was provided as recommended by Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff: Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices (2005), for a Moderate level of concern device.
7.2. Summary of clinical performance data
Daylight was evaluated in the Generalized Anxiety Therapy Effectiveness (GATE) trial which was a two-arm, parallel group, randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing digital CBT (Daylight) with online anxiety psychoeducation in 351 adults aged 22+ with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Participants were recruited from across the United States via social media. Participants with a diagnosis of GAD according to DSM-5 were allocated to receive Daylight (n=175) or online anxiety psychoeducation (n=176), using a blind-tohypothesis approach.
Although psychoeducation and Daylight have some differences in format and interactivity, the psychoeducation control used in the GATE trial matched Daylight on key characteristics including human contact, self-pacing, and retention. Although Daylight included more content separated into modules and required more time to complete, both groups were able to access all of the content immediately and neither treatment was time-locked. In prior research1 on the Daylight device and the same psychoeducation treatment, psychoeducation has also been shown to match Daylight on patient perceptions of credibility and expectation of benefit (Table 2).
| Psychoeducation | Daylight | |
|---|---|---|
| Credibility | 22.0 (SD = 3.8) | 19.5 (SD = 4.0) |
| Expectancy(average expectedsymptom reduction) | 32% | 39% |

{6}------------------------------------------------
Note: SD = standard deviation.
The co-primary outcome measures were remission based on the Clinical Global Impression - Improvement scale (CGI-I) scores of 1 or 2 and patientreported generalized anxiety symptom severity, assessed using the generalized anxiety disorder 7-item questionnaire (GAD-7). The primary endpoint was 10 weeks post-randomization and a follow-up assessment occurred at 24 weeks post-randomization. Secondary outcomes included depression symptoms assessed by the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8), insomnia symptoms assessed by the Sleep Condition Indicator (SCI-8), and anxiety severity assessed by the Clinical Global Impression - Severity (CGI-S) scale and the patient-reported Overall Anxiety Severity and Impairment Scale (OASIS).
Across the total sample, 24% of participants (23% Daylight and 25% Control) were taking concomitant prescription anxiety medications at baseline, and 18% of participants (19% Daylight, 18% Control) were taking non-prescription substances to target anxiety. In addition, 4% of participants reported having seen a treatment provider for anxiety in the 3 weeks prior to their baseline assessment (4% Daylight, 4.5% Control), and 41% of participants reported previous therapy experience (38% Daylight, 43% Control).
A summary of the results of the GATE trial for Daylight vs psychoeducation is provided in Tables 3 and 4 and Figure 1 below.

One adverse event was rated "probably" related to Daylight use during the treatment period: worsening panic attack severity. Adverse events that were rated "possibly" related to Daylight use were: panic attacks (n=4 [2.3%]), depression symptoms (n=5 [2.9%]), premenstrual/post-partum/seasonal mood symptoms (n=3 [1.7%]), thoughts of death or suicide (n=3 [1.7%]), PTSD symptoms (n=1 [0.6%]), musculoskeletal pain (n=6 [3.4%]), and headache (n=3 [1.7%]).Two serious adverse events were reported by study participants in the Daylight arm; neither of these were related to use of Daylight or participation in the trial. There were no unanticipated adverse device effects.

8. Conclusion
Daylight and the predicate Somryst have the same Intended Use as computerized behavioral therapy devices for psychiatric disorders. There are slight differences in indications for use in that Daylight is indicated for treatment of symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder, but this does not constitute a new intended use. Daylight has similar technological characteristics to Somryst, including software architecture and delivery of digital cognitive behavioral therapy through a mobile application. Software testing and pivotal clinical study results validate Daylight towards its proposed Indications for Use. This validation reasonably assures that Daylight is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Further, Daylight met all of the Special Controls per the requirements of the regulation (21 CFR 882.5801). Thus, Daylight is substantially equivalent to Somryst.
