Parnham - Lifestyle Sidekick

Welcome to the home of Side-Kick lifestyle apps. Our first app will aid you in Quiting Smoking . The Quit Smoking sidekick was launched December 2011 and is a beta verison that is available on the Android Market.

The QuitSmoking Side Kick is an example of gamification heavily inspired by Seth Priebatsch TED talk in 2010 and the concepts for notifying a user comes from the work of Dr. Caroline Free et al paper on (Smoking cessation support delivered via mobile phone text messaging (txt2stop): a single-blind, randomised trial )(2011) which demonstrated that notifying smokers and give them encouragement helped them quit smoking by way of text messages.
