How can innovative technology support smoking cessation? In this engaging episode of Scope of Practice, Dr. Emily Hebert shares her research on the SMART-T app, designed to help individuals quit smoking. Developed at the University of Oklahoma, this interactive app aims to assist populations with higher smoking rates, particularly those with limited access to traditional cessation resources. Dr. Hebert explains how the app's dynamic features offer personalised support, acting as a 'counsellor in your pocket'.
By utilising real-time data and user engagement, SMART-T delivers tailored interventions based on individual risk factors such as stress and mood. Dr. Hebert discusses the challenges of maintaining user engagement with health apps and highlights the significance of personalised, just-in-time adaptive interventions. The conversation also touches on the socio-economic factors influencing smoking habits and how targeted marketing by tobacco companies impacts disadvantaged communities.
Listeners will gain insight into how technology can bridge gaps in healthcare access and provide innovative solutions for smoking cessation. Whether you're curious about the role of mobile technology in health interventions or interested in the broader implications for public health, this episode offers a compelling look at a promising tool in the fight against smoking.
