Researchers in the UK have developed a smartphone application to help people stop smoking. Based on artificial intelligence, this app is able to detect when and where a smoker would want to light up a cigarette. According to the researchers' first tests, this method could be more effective than online services to help people kick the habit.
A new study conducted by the University of East Anglia, in collaboration with several other British universities, shows that an AI-based smartphone application could become an effective smoking cessation aid. Called Quit Sense, the application detects smoking triggers, and helps smokers manage their cravings in real time by sending them supportive messages.
