Health Behavior Solutions
Evidence-based digital tools for tobacco, vaping, and hazardous drinking.
We turn interventions tested in clinical trials into engaging digital programs for adults who smoke, vape, or engage in hazardous drinking.
What sets us apart
Built on clinical science
Every product starts from an intervention tested in NIH-funded research, led by a team with more than 35 years of experience treating tobacco and substance use.
Designed for people often left out
We build for groups that standard programs rarely reach, including psychiatric inpatients, Spanish-speaking adults, and adults with elevated anxiety.
Engaging and responsible
We use conversational AI and personalized content to keep people engaged, with clinician-approved content and safeguards built in from the start.
Evidence from a randomized trial
In our Helping HAND 3 trial, published in JAMA Psychiatry, our Sustained Care intervention showed a doubling of quit rates among psychiatric inpatients at 6 months post-discharge, compared to usual hospital care.
