Lessons learned from designing an instrumented lighter for assessing smoking status

Published:11 September 2017Publication History

ABSTRACT

Assessing smoking status from wearable sensors can potentially create novel cessation therapies for the global smoking epidemic, without requiring users to regularly fill in questionnaires to obtain their smoking data. In this paper we discuss several design iterations of an instrumented cigarette lighter the records when it is used, to provide the ground-truth for detection from sensor signals measured at the human body, or to provide an alternative low-delay detection mechanism for smoking.
