OBJECTIVE: Smoking during pregnancy poses significant health risks, necessitating accurate continuous monitoring of pregnant women's smoking behaviours. Existing methods relying on self-reporting lack objectivity, while biochemical measures like exhaled carbon monoxide (CO) provide validation but suffer from low participant engagement. We developed myCOtrak to address these limitations by integrating real-time CO monitoring with self-reported smoking, nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), and e-cigarette use. RESULTS: myCOtrak combines automated CO data from the Bedfont iCO monitor with daily surveys. It demonstrated high feasibility and usability in initial testing with 23 participants, with 75% continuing data submission for ≥ 14 days. Key features include seamless CO integration, cloud-based storage, and longitudinal tracking, offering a validated, scalable tool for smoking cessation research.
目的:孕期吸烟会带来重大健康风险,因此需要对孕妇的吸烟行为进行准确的持续监测。现有的依靠自我报告的方法缺乏客观性,而像呼出一氧化碳(CO)这样的生化测量方法虽能提供验证,但参与者参与度较低。我们开发了myCOtrak,通过将实时CO监测与自我报告的吸烟、尼古丁替代疗法(NRT)和电子烟使用情况相结合来解决这些局限性。 结果:myCOtrak将来自Bedfont iCO监测仪的自动CO数据与每日调查相结合。在对23名参与者进行的初步测试中,它显示出了很高的可行性和可用性,75%的参与者持续提交数据≥14天。关键特性包括无缝的CO整合、基于云的存储和纵向跟踪,为戒烟研究提供了一个经过验证的、可扩展的工具。
