In this article, Chris talks about the research and how the app works with Android Smartwatch's, to detect movement during smoking.   

Chris says:  

“For those who are trying to give up, an initial lapse is a vulnerable moment, and risks leading to a full relapse to smoking.  

“People like smartwatches. They like the idea of it delivering a message at the point that they smoke.  

“Therefore, if we can identify this point of lapse, and deliver an intervention precisely at that point, we have an opportunity to improve the success of the quit attempt.  

“In carrying out this project, we have aimed to harness the latest thinking in intervention design, and deliver it in a convenient wearable package with minimal burden to the user and maximum engagement with behaviour change; and in doing so, make a difference to people’s lives.”
