Lumme Health, Inc. develops smartwatch-based behavior change software for smoking cessation and weight management. For such high-frequency behaviors, Lumme's machine learning apps, which run continuously in the background of a smartwatch, eliminate the burden of tedious self-monitoring by passively tracking real-time, objective consumption metrics and behavioral patterns from the motions of the hand. This dramatically increases self-awareness and understanding over traditional, manual reporting methods, and uncovers insights and triggers that lead to problematic habit loops. Lumme further combines decades of clinically-validated research in behavioral psychology with predictive analytics to identify exactly when and how users should focus their efforts to achieve the greatest possible success.
