Electronic Quit Smoking Coach
PIs: Carrie Heeter, Jim Anthony, Brian Winn
Lead Designer, Geraud Plantegenest
Starting as an MA thesis project by Geraud Plantegenest,
we are developing an electronic quit smoking agent based on the
live telephone coaching system known as Quit the Nic. We seek to
assess the impact of an electronic agent to perform a similar function
as a live human. Our design draws upon the Captology writings of
B.J. Fogg and on research about pedagogical agents.
