Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patients attending the smoking cessation programme at the Virgen del Rocío University Hospital under the SoLoMo clinical trial of the SmokeFreeBrain project and provided with the SoLoMo mobile app will be observed for one year. This mobile app which sends the patients tailored health motivational messages selected by a health recommender system, and based on their user profile retrieved from an electronic health record. Patients' messages feedback and interactions with the app will be analyzed and evaluated following an observational prospective methodology to see whether patients like the messages, and measure the patient engagement with the health recommender system.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Social, Local and Mobile

Patients having smoking cessation standard care (behavioral and pharmacological therapy) and using the SoLoMo mobile app that sends them motivational messages.

Social, Local and Mobile

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients in a smoking cessation program will use a mobile application to receive messages and rate them from their smartphones. The messages patient will receive belong to one of the following five topics: general motivation, diet tips, physical exercise tips, personal performance, and the benefits of being a non-smoker. For each one of these topics, there will be a pool of 150 different messages with tailored information for the patient. Topics and messages were approved by a smoking cessation psychologist and a pulmonologist. The selection of the time the messages have to be sent, and the message topic is selected by an health recommender system algorithm based on the patients' user profile (demographic information, message rating information, and app interaction information).
