Abstract

We have developed an application called QuittyLink that helps people quit smoking. QuittyLink is inspired by the known value of personal face-to-face counseling as an effective means to help people quit, and provides personal counseling on mobile phones based on selfand system-tracked data about smoking habits. The application collects time, location and situations that trigger the smokers to smoke or crave cigarettes and presents it to them in the form of simple charts/graphs. Users are also sent personal counseling messages written by experts from the quit help line Stoplinien, and is based on their individual smoking behaviors. The demonstration of QuittyLink adds to our MobileHCI'15 paper [7] with more details about the system.
