DAGAT New Mexico

Educating New Mexicans with disabilities on health smoking cessation programs.

The DAGAT App supports The New Mexico Department of Health's Disability Advisory Group About Tobacco (DAGAT), in its quest to provide input and direction on the issues related to commercial tobacco for people with disabilities. This app provides information and tools to help individuals quit smoking. To support people with dissabilities the app provides for voice activated navigation. Upon launch, the app encourages the user to share their mood with others in their social circle. Depending on their stated mood, the user is presented with tools that would be appropriate given their response. The app's main page then provides additional resources that can be used to encourage the user to quit smoking, or remain smoke free. Features provided include a directory of resources available to call, health facts related to e-cigarettes, audio recordings including meditations and nature sounds to help the user relax, a numbers game to provide a distraction if needed, a Savings Since Quit tracker, coupons from local businesses that are encouraging the user along his or her path, and links to DAGAT's Website, Twitter and Facebook pages.
