Senior citizens

make up 13%of the U.S. population,

yet account for

34% of healthcare-

related spending.

More thana third of all

adults aged 65 or older suffer from

falls each year.

Between

2015 and 2050,the proportion of the world's

population more than 60 years old will nearly double,

from 12% to 22%.

By

2020,the number of people aged

60 years and older will outnumber that of

children younger than5 years.

Effect of Real-Time Monitoring and Notification of Smoking Episodes on Smoking Reduction: A Pilot Study of a Novel Smoking Cessation App

Prof. Reuven DarSchool of Psychological SciencesTel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel

Results/Findings – smokers in the experimental condition showed a significant decline in smoking rate over the 30-day trial (p < .001). There was no change in the smoking rate of the control group.Conclusions – These preliminary results suggest that automatic monitoring of smoking episodes and alerting the smoker in real time may facilitate smoking reduction in motivated smokers.
