Smartband Mindfulness Study

Smartband/Smartphone-based Automatic Smoking Detection and Real Time Mindfulness Intervention

To determine treatment fidelity for a smartband/smartphone-based smoking monitoring, notification and brief mindfulness intervention.

This study will test the feasibility of using a smartband to detect and track smoking and deliver brief smoking cessation interventions by smartphone app in real time. Smokers will wear a smartband to detect and notify them of smoking for 21 days and obtain individual smoking profiles; detected smoking will then trigger a "mindful smoking" exercise for the next 7 days leading up to their quit date at 30 days; after which another mindfulness exercise ("RAIN": recognize, accept, investigate and note cravings rather than smoke) will be delivered prior to each predicted smoking episode according to their individual smoking profile for 30 days post-quit.
