Abstract
Systems and methods for monitoring assisting an individual to reduce smoking of a combustible tobacco and use of a non-combustible nicotine source to offset the reduction of nicotine from the reduction of smoking of the combustible tobacco.
Claims24
A method for assisting an individual to cease smoking of combustible tobacco, the method comprising:
- obtaining a plurality of biologic data from the individual through an electronic user interface;
- producing a quantified smoking exposure of the individual using the plurality of biologic data, where the quantified smoking exposure comprises the individual's use of combustible tobacco;
- displaying the quantified smoking exposure to the individual through the electronic user interface prompting the individual to reduce the use of the combustible tobacco and to increase the use of a non-combustible nicotine source, such that the non-combustible nicotine source at least partially offsets a reduced nicotine level in the individual resulting from reduced use of the combustible tobacco;
- compiling a behavior summary, where the behavior summary includes a history of the quantified smoking exposure as a result of the use of the combustible tobacco with the non-combustible nicotine source;
- and
- periodically displaying the behavior summary to the individual using the electronic user interface.
A method for encouraging combustible smoking cessation in an individual, the method comprising:
- recording a plurality of behavioral data from the individual;
- obtaining a plurality of biologic data from the individual that includes use of a non-combustible nicotine supply and a smoking behavior;
- compiling a behavior summary, where the behavior summary includes a combination of at least one of the plurality of behavioral data and the plurality of biologic data;
- visually displaying at least a portion of the behavior summary to the individual to inform the individual about the smoking behavior;
- and
- prompting the individual to reduce the smoking behavior and increase usage of non-combustible nicotine supply.
A method for encouraging combustible smoking cessation in an individual, the method comprising:
- electronically recording a plurality of behavioral data from the individual;
- obtaining a plurality of biologic data from the individual;
- quantifying a smoking exposure of the individual using the plurality of biologic data;
- conducting a smoking cessation process on an electronic display by compiling a behavior summary, where the behavior summary includes a combination of at least one of the plurality of behavioral data and the smoking exposure and displaying on the electronic display at least a portion of the behavior summary to the individual to inform the individual about the smoking behavior;
- and
- prompting the individual through the electronic display to use a non-combustible nicotine source.
A method of assisting an individual to stop a smoking behavior, the method comprising:
- recording a plurality of behavioral data supplied by the individual where the plurality of behavioral data is non-biologic;
- obtaining a plurality of biologic data from the individual, where the plurality of biologic data is representative of a smoking exposure;
- conducting a smoking cessation process on an electronic display by compiling a behavior summary, where the behavior summary includes an association of at least one of the plurality of behavioral data and the smoking exposure;
- and
- providing at least a portion of the behavior summary to a user interface on the electronic display, where the user interface is structured to display at least one of the plurality of behavioral data in association with the smoking exposure.
A method for encouraging combustible smoking cessation in an individual, the method comprising:
- obtaining a plurality of biologic data from the individual;
- quantifying a smoking exposure of the individual using the plurality of biologic data;
- prompting the individual to use a non-combustible nicotine supply;
- compiling a nicotine behavior summary, where the nicotine behavior summary includes a combination of the smoking exposure and a nicotine usage;
- electronically displaying the nicotine behavior summary to the individual;
- and
- prompting the individual to reduce the smoking exposure and increase the nicotine usage.
A method for encouraging combustible smoking cessation in an individual, the method comprising:
- obtaining a plurality of biologic data from the individual;
- and
- conducting a smoking cessation process by generating a behavior summary based on the plurality of biologic data and visually displaying at least a portion of the behavior summary to the individual to inform the individual about a smoking behavior, where the behavior summary includes a smoking exposure of the individual.
A method for encouraging switching an individual from a combustible nicotine source to a non-combustible nicotine source, the method comprising:
- obtaining a plurality of biologic data from the individual;
- and
- conducting a switching process by generating a behavior summary based on the plurality of biologic data and visually displaying at least a portion of the behavior summary to the individual to inform the individual about a smoking behavior, where the behavior summary includes a smoking exposure of the individual.
