Grant Activity:
Enhancing smoking cessation with an innovative mobile health avatar
Purpose:
Smoking causes premature death. We will create and test a state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) smartphone app to help smokers quit. The app will talk - think of Siri on an iPhone - delivering tailored cessation advice, increasing user knowledge and motivation to quit, working in tandem with existing smoking cessation services. The app ‘brain’, built from AI analysis of thousands of smokers’ Quitline counselling conversations, will be like hundreds of skilled counsellors rolled into one.
