QuitNow! is a mobile app tailored to assist individuals to quit smoking. The app is based on the principle that social support and immediate data visualization may increase motivation and commitment to quit smoking. QuitNow!'s main feature is its detailed tracker, presenting users with the time that passed since they’ve stopped smoking, the number of cigarettes they have not smoked, and the amount of money and time they have saved. User’s achievements are rewarded with badges. The app also provides a “Health Timeline”, offering users insights into how their body recovers from smoking over time, highlighting benefits such as improved lung function and circulation. Additionally, QuitNow! incorporates a social networking component, allowing users to connect with others who are trying to quit. This global community provides a platform for sharing experiences, offering support, and exchanging tips. Additional features include a section for fighting cravings with daily tips, quick accesses to the national quit line (if one exists), and a breathing exercise. QuitNow! is free to download and use, with an optional in-app purchases like detailed health statistics, personal goals setting, add-free version, and full access to the community.
QuitNow! is well-suited for inclusion in comprehensive smoking cessation strategies, offering both community support and individual progress tracking. Clinicians can recommend this app to patients who may benefit from social encouragement and wish to connect with others who are quitting. The health milestones and real-time statistics provided by QuitNow! can be used to reinforce the health benefits of quitting and to maintain patient motivation throughout their cessation journey.
