SmokeMon is a necklace-like smart wearable that not only tracks cigarette smoking, but can also help avoid a relapse for those in the process of quitting. The heat-sensing wearable device comes fitted with a low-power, low-resolution thermal sensor that is not only capable of detecting smoke from a cigarette but can also collect more information like how long each puff lasts, how long the cigarette stays in the mouth, when the cigarette is lit, the volume of smoke inhaled, the duration between each puff, and more. This data is of critical importance because it can help minimize the chances of a relapse. “This information can be used to predict when a person will relapse and when to intervene with a phone call from a health coach,” notes the press release. #smoking #wearable #healthtech #healthtechnology #smarttech #smarttechnology #smarttechnologies
