Definitions

  • the invention relates to a watch for aiding the weaning of smokers or other addicts of nicotine or other addictive or medicinal products or of behavior.
  • Weaning is a therapy that aims to release the addict's or drug addiction's attachment through psychological, social and medical support and to replace it with biographically meaningful goals and attachments.
  • Many different therapies are known. However, the success of the therapy is by no means guaranteed. There is a need for further or improved therapies. This also applies to the weaning of other problematic behaviors or habits, e.g. B. Excessive use of cars instead of bicycles or public transport.

  • the watch according to the invention for supporting the weaning of addicts from drugs and medication or from behavior has an electronic circuit comprising a timer, - at least one memory for storing at least one characteristic factor relating to the addictive substance or the behavior and a computer for determining at least one characteristic number relating to a therapy effect with the aid of the characteristic factor and the therapy duration, an input device connected to the electronic circuit for starting a time measurement relating to the therapy duration at the beginning of the therapy and an output device connected to the electronic circuit for outputting the therapy duration and / or the determined key figure.
  • the watch After starting the time measurement, the watch according to the invention continuously determines the duration of therapy. Furthermore, with the help of the therapy duration and at least one characteristic factor, it determines at least one characteristic number which characterizes the progress of the therapy.
  • the duration of therapy and / or at least one key figure is output using the output device. The person to be weaned can get a positive interim assessment of the therapy from the watch at any time, which gives them a motivational aid that promotes therapy success.
  • the characteristic factor is e.g. the money saved by the mink not using the addictive substance or the behavior in the unit of time. From this, the watch uses the duration of the therapy to calculate the total amount of money saved since the start of therapy by not using the addictive substance as a key figure. Alternatively or additionally, the characteristic factor is e.g. the average lifespan gain per unit of time as a result of mink not using the addictive substance or behavior. From this, the watch uses the duration of therapy to calculate the lifespan gained since the start of therapy as a key figure.
