Government launches app to help smokers quit
UM has launched an app for the government designed to help people stop smoking.
The app – called My QuitBuddy – allows the user to record messages of support from friends and family and monitors daily progress.
UM chief digital officer James Filmer said: “We have designed this app to provide vital support for people through the hardest periods in their quit smoking programs. It includes tips and distractions to overcome cravings and all the facts you need to understand the impact smoking has on your health. It is a highly personalised 24/7 tool.”
The app can run on the iPhone and iPad initially, and will later be available on other mobile device platforms.
