Have you considered quitting smoking? Whether you’ve already quit smoking or you’re still thinking about it, QuitNow will help you quit tobacco for good. Quitting smoking is one of the best decisions you can make for your health: it reduces your risk of disease, you regain energy, you save money, and you also protect the people around you. But the truth is, quitting isn’t easy. That’s where QuitNow comes in. QuitNow was born in 2011, created by a smoker who wanted to quit. Since then, we’ve grown, brought in addiction specialists, and refined our tools so you can quit tobacco for good: YOUR EX-SMOKER STATUS When you quit smoking, it’s important to clearly see what you’re achieving. That’s why on QuitNow’s home screen you’ll see how long it’s been since you last smoked, how many cigarettes you haven’t smoked, how much money you’ve saved, and how much life you’ve regained. COMMUNITY: THE EX-SMOKERS’ CHAT Having a smoke-free environment is crucial when you quit. QuitNow offers a chat full of people who, like you, have said goodbye to tobacco. Sharing your journey with other ex-smokers will make your path easier. LIVE SESSIONS WITH AN EXPERT Every month we host a live session with a smoking-cessation expert. In these sessions, the psychologist explains the best way to quit smoking and answers attendees’ questions live. These sessions are a unique opportunity to get personalized advice and resolve doubts in real time. A COMPLETE COURSE TO QUIT SMOKING Some people prefer a more structured method when they quit. That’s why QuitNow includes a step-by-step course designed to guide you throughout the entire quitting process. It works like a digital book, but integrated inside the app. MILESTONES: SMALL MOTIVATIONS TO QUIT SMOKING As with any task in life, quitting is easier when you break the challenge into smaller goals. That’s why QuitNow offers 80 milestones based on the cigarettes you’ve avoided, the days you’ve gone without smoking, and the money you’ve saved. This way, you can start celebrating your wins from day one. YOUR HEALTH AS AN EX-SMOKER In QuitNow you’ll find a list of health indicators that show how your body improves day by day. These indicators are the same ones published by the World Health Organization, and we update them as soon as the WHO does. Plus, QuitNow includes other sections designed to help you on your journey to quit smoking. QUITNOW AI Whenever questions come up during your quitting process, you can turn to QuitNow AI. It’s designed to provide clear, reliable information, based on our course and on data from the World Health Organization. BOOKS TO HELP YOU QUIT SMOKING Learning techniques and approaches to quit can make the process much easier. That’s why we’ve selected well-known books that can effectively help you on your path to a tobacco-free life. ALSO ON YOUR WATCH QuitNow’s Apple Watch app and its widgets and tiles let you track your progress, see how much you’ve saved, and check your smoke-free stats right from your wrist. Because we dedicate so much time and effort to it, we firmly believe QuitNow is the best app to quit smoking. As always, there’s room for improvement—so if you have any idea to make QuitNow even better, please write to us at ios@quitnow.app. We truly hope QuitNow supports you on your journey to a tobacco-free life.

VitalKeep cuida de tu madre o de tu padre sin que tenga que pulsar nada ni cargar nada, y sin cámaras. Si se cae, os avisa al momento. Una pulsera con pila detecta la caída y avisa a toda la familia en el móvil. Si nadie atiende el aviso, VitalKeep llama por teléfono a la familia, uno detrás de otro, y vuelve a intentarlo hasta que alguien responde. El botón SOS también avisa fuera de casa, a través del móvil que lleva encima. Con Alexa en casa, todo es más fácil. Cuando salta un aviso, Alexa le pregunta si está bien, y si dice que sí, la familia lo sabe al momento. Si dice «Alexa, ayuda», os llega el aviso. Y podéis escribirle mensajes que Alexa le dice en voz alta, con vuestro nombre: veréis si lo ha escuchado y lo que ha respondido. Repasa su recorrido de cada día con un toque: paradas numeradas, la hora y la calle aproximada de cada parada, si la familia lo acepta. Toda la familia en un mapa. Cada uno puede compartir su ubicación, siempre con su consentimiento, y pausarla cuando quiera. Avisos al llegar y al salir de los sitios que elijas, como el centro de día o la casa de un hijo. Cada aviso, contado paso a paso: qué pasó, quién se ocupó, cómo terminó y si hacía falta ayuda. Su día de un vistazo: cómo ha dormido, a qué hora se levantó y cuánto se ha movido, sin vigilarle. Sin cámaras y sin micrófonos. Unos enchufes en casa saben en qué habitación está; la pulsera va con pila y no hay que cargarla. La ubicación se guarda 30 días. Varios familiares en la misma cuenta, sin permanencia. Necesita el kit VitalKeep (pulsera y enchufes). Alexa es opcional. Más información en vitalkeep.es. VitalKeep no es un servicio de emergencias: ante una urgencia, llama al 112.
