Smartphone-based financial incentives to promote smoking cessation during pregnancy: A pilot study

mMotiv8: A smartphone‐based contingency management intervention to promote smoking cessation

“…Three additional participants missed qualifying by a narrow margin, while two participants did not initiate abstinence early enough in the intervention to meet the 3‐week criterion. The results add to the growing evidence on the effectiveness of mobile phone‐based CM (Alessi et al, 2017; Carpenter et al, 2015; Dan et al, 2016; Getty et al, 2019; Hertzberg et al, 2013; Kendzor et al, 2020; Kong et al, 2017; Kurti et al, 2020). In combination with a relatively inexpensive CO monitor, the use of mobile phones could greatly expand the reach of CM, particularly to underserved and rural populations where smoking takes a disproportionate toll on health.…”

“…To facilitate dissemination, basic cell phones and smartphones have been used to implement similar incentive‐based interventions in adults (Alessi et al, 2017; Carpenter et al, 2015; Dan et al, 2016; Getty et al, 2019; Hertzberg et al, 2013; Kendzor et al, 2020; Kurti et al, 2020) and adolescents (Kong et al, 2017). Smartphones have even greater reach relative to Internet‐based methods.…”

A smartphone-smartcard platform for contingency management in an inner-city substance use disorder outpatient program

“…The only previously published study involving this platform described a randomized controlled trial in which 60 pregnant smokers from across the U.S. were randomly assigned to a smoking cessation best practices model or that model plus this CM platform. The CM group quit at 2.7 times the rate of the treatment as usual group (36.7% vs. 13.3%; P < 0.05; Kurti et al, 2020).…”

The Clinical Application and Prospect of Smart Prenatal Care and Postpartum Recovery

“…With the increasing understanding and application of intelligent medical care, and through the use of a portable or family fetal heart monitoring instruments, we can detect abnormal situations anytime and anywhere, providing timely and relevant diagnosis and treatment guidance [ 34 ]. This will significantly facilitate “early detection, early prevention, early diagnosis, and early treatment,” reducing the incidences, disability, and mortality of diseases, as well as the burden for society and families [ 36 , 37 ]. In addition, the patient data obtained by smart medical treatment are more detailed and timely than the data obtained from the hospital follow-up.…”
