Take The 4th of July To Declare Your Freedom From Tobacco

IntelliQuit, one of the leaders in tobacco treatment products and services, released the free MyNicotineTest app for iOS and Android today. In just 15 minutes, tobacco users can determine how much biochemical nicotine is in their body with MyNicotineTest’s mobile application (available on the App Store or at www.MyNicotineTest.com).

Robert Philbert, MD, PhD, a professor of Psychiatry and an smoker who treats tobacco addicted patients, says that enabling nicotine users to track their progress is like dieters measuring their weight loss.

“Measuring lets users control their tobacco use and assess healthy progress. When I know how much nicotine a smoker, cigar smoker, dipper or chewer consumed biochemically, I can guide them to reduce their consumption and then quit at the right time,” Dr. Philbert said.

This mobile app was developed by a team of tobacco treatment experts, computer scientists, chemists, and physicians, utilizing a technology that has been cleared by the FDA and has been CLIA-approved, Matthew Bars, MBA, Co-founder of NCTTP IntelliQuit, and Director of the Fire Department’s Tobacco Treatment Program, said that any tobacco user would be able to measure the nicotine they consumed from any source, even electronic cigarette vaping.

MyNicotineTest measures color changes-more nicotine causes the reddish pink color to become darker. Through a process called computer vision, the smartphone can detect color changes. The user’s smartphone deciphers the resulting colour map and uploads it to the cloud with AI and deep machine learning, which returns a biochemical nicotine value to them within seconds.

Designed with smokers in mind, IntelliQuit Mobile App helps you quit smoking. More than 47 million people use tobacco in the United States and 1.3 billion worldwide, and many who use vaping to quit smoke. It is expected that tobacco will kill one billion people this century unless a new and improved message is delivered to the user.

Also available separately through the App Store is a clinician-facing app designed to help clinicians to help their tobacco-using patients.

The Apple app store has more information about IntelliQuit, as well as information about how to download the app. Visit www.MyNicotineTest.com for more information.
