A group of scientists and researchers working out of the University of St. Andrews have developed an innovative new smartphone app that is designed to help you quit smoking so that you don't have to front up to this difficult challenge on your own.
What makes this particular smartphone app so unique is the fact that it takes together a whole array of information drawn from the worlds of statistical modelling, behavioral psychology as well as computer science, so users can rest assured that the principles that guide their smoking cessation through the app are based on hard science. The app tracks users' smoking behaviors and then sends messages to users to help support their attempts to quit.
Quitting smoking is no easy task, but this scientifically crafted app can help you quit smoking by using hard science.
