Wearable technology is being developed by Case Western Reserve University as an automatic alert system to aid people quit smoking, possibly the first time a mobile alert system has been used to aid addictions in such way.
Two armband sensors have been developed to demonstrate a 98% accuracy in determining movements associated with lighting a cigarette as oppose than other similar motions such as eating or drinking. When these sensors detect the specific movement pattern of smoking a short 'motivational' video message is automatically sent to the user via a smart phone app, with the intention of halting the thought process and stopping the act of smoking.
The technology is being combined with an online platform that includes mindfulness training and an individualised stop smoking quit plan. In years to come is this what behavioural change therapy is going to look like? I think it is a great example of how increasingly intelligent technology can be used to benefit our health.

If you have problem of poor sleep or sleeping disorder and by and large poor rest, hypnosis may support you, If you're a decent candidate for hypnotherapy, you'll be instructed how to go into a stupor like state. Hypnosis is successful for hindering the diverting prattle that frequently meddles with rest.

If you are a victim of hair loss, then you should not be worried as you are not alone in this issue. Almost every second person is facing baldness.
Long-term use of cigarettes will do harm to the lungs, and second-hand smoke will also affect the health of others, so it is advocated to ban the use of cigarettes. E-cigarettes can be used instead.Steam Crave RDTA and smok starter kit products are cheap, durable and healthier than cigarettes.
