First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed Phase 1 trial tested a smartphone app that uses mindfulness exercises to help cancer survivors quit smoking. Twelve participants used the app daily for three weeks, completed surveys, and received nicotine patches. The goal was to see if people liked the app and found it helpful, not to measure quit rates.
