Nicotrax Smoking Monitoring and Support System Helps Everyone Quit Their Own Way
http://www.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Nicotrax.png
Quitting smoking can be difficult for a lot of people, often turning **rmal folks into irritated grouches that can’t seem to control their emotions. A good deal trouble arises from the fact that *****rs often don’t realize what triggers their cravings and what they can do to avoid such situations. A new hardware and software system, originally envisioned by a group of **rth Carolina State undergrads, provides automatic cigarette tracking coupled with various support services and quitting aids that in the end aims to help find the best quitting route for every *****r.
The Nicotrax system includes a special cigarette pack that records every time a ***** is pulled out. This data is sent over to a smartphone and into an online portal from where it can be evaluated by the user or counselor. Besides recording the time and frequency of *****s, the system also does its best to identify where and with whom there seems to be more smoking done by the user. Once triggers are identified, they can be used to structure one’s day to avoid certain spots and people, as well as decide when it’s best to take a nicotine replacement therapy. A personal counselor can also analyze the data and have the person open up and understand what exactly is creating the triggers and how best to avoid them.
Although the system is **t yet available for purchase, the company founders are raising*crowdfunds*on Indiegogo to turn it into a real product.
