SmokeBeat will help you quit smoking in 2018!

SmokeBeat may help you stick to one of your good resolutions for 2018: quit smoking or cut down on cigarettes.

SmokeBeat is a new platform that aims to harness the power of smartwatches to help users out. Designed by the company Somatix, SmokeBeat is capable of detecting smoking in real time, based on hand-to-mouth gestures collected by the sensors integrated into the smartwatches.

This data is then synchronized in a dedicated application. Using movement to detect the action of smoking, SmokeBeat has obviously been developed to differentiate this movement from other gestures allowing you to eat, shave or bite your nails. And to ensure that there is no false recognition, the user will also receive a message asking him to confirm if he smokes.

All the information collected via the smartwatch is presented to the user in order to give him an overview of his smoking. The latter will therefore be able to know the number of cigarettes smoked per day, how much it costs him, the total time spent smoking and the evolution of his consumption.

Users are also able to tailor data based on the importance of these factors, set goals, compare progress with other users, and receive reward credits.

The platform was recently tested as part of a study. The latter has shown that it is able to detect more than 80 percent of smoking episodes. At the same time, the study found that participants using SmokeBeat technology managed to significantly reduce their smoking rates.

For all those who are looking to gradually reduce their smoking in 2018, or simply better monitoring their cigarette consumption, SmokeBeat seems to be a good solution. You can find more information about this platform on the Somatix website.
