Smartwatches could be a game-changer in alcohol intervention!⌚New research shows they offer a more accurate way to track drinking habits than traditional methods. With alcohol harm costing the NHS £3.5B annually, tech like 'AlcoWatch' could help.🍻 brnw.ch/21wS21F

A great team effort, made possible by support from @BrisCancerEpi, with funding from @CR_UK

@macordero Thanks so much Miguel!! A great team effort 🙂 Hope all’s good with you!!

Un reloj podría ayudar a detener el hábito tabaquico. Congrats Dr @AndyLSkinner
