It's World No Tobacco Day today and we developed a smartwatch app which helps people quit smoking, on Android Wear 2.0 (atm), here is how it works:

-> we automatically detect when a person smokes (motion recognition) -> from here you are suggested a best time to smoke next (we slowly increase their time to their next cigarette) -> when you wait until after the suggested time you receive points which can be converted into Starbucks credits

Here are a couple quotes from our initial testers; looking to get 1000 user market study to confirm our results!

"Cue helped me reduce smoking by 50% in the first week. It’s magical” - Ali N.

“After 24 years of smoking, this has been the only thing to help thus far” - Darrell

“This app is great, puts you on the road to quitting easily and effectively. I would share this with anyone needing help to quit for good" - Jasmine

“Cue is a helpful app because it provides positive reinforcement that rewards delaying my next cigarette." - Adrian

was waiting for someone to put this out :) awesome.
the tap counting is a way to capture anonymous data around the tap, wave and knock to help determine discrepancies between different forms. Thanks for note about the email at the top. Both the pod and sample app are available on our github.com/kiwiwearbles page :) Full name is required for the draw.
