This is a presentation for a concept app that would help users measure their smoking habit and then reduce it and eliminate it. We know quitting smoking can be tough, and carries emotional weight, and so we baked in a journal and a reward system to support users in the process. This was produced in a group project as part of the 2nd year Computing course at Imperial College London. Thanks to Oli and Sam, my team mates, and the Royal College of Art for teaching this course at Imperial.
