 NICCHECK NOW HAS A SMARTPHONE APP WHICH ENABLES CLOUD BASED NICOTINE MEASUREMENTS


NicCheck now has a mobile app which enables cloud-based nicotine monitoring for all tobacco users including for the first time JUUL® pod vaporizers and other E cigarettes also known as electronic nicotine delivery devices.

Many smokers are switching to vaping and knowing the amount of nicotine consumed before and after is helpful. Many e-cigarette consumers use vaping as a quitting attempt or substitute for quitting. The NicCheck Mobile App quantifies nicotine consumption from all sources of nicotine and tobacco including smokeless tobacco, heat not burn tobacco products and nicotine replacement products.
The Mobile App is the first smartphone technology which measures nicotine consumption from all sources and assists people in switching, cutting down or quitting nicotine consumption. 

WHY MEASURE?
When you measure it you can control it. The mobile app enables both the tobacco consumer and health professional to monitor progress.  Counting cigarettes or pods is inadequate and inherently inaccurate.

NOTE; THIS APPLICATION HAS NOT BEEN CLEARED BY THE FDA.

The Biosound Experience

A thoroughly profound experience, a session in the BioSound Bed is designed to induce a relaxation response and then deliver positive and powerful messages relating to the recovery process. The system consists of a vibrational platform that is constructed with memory foam and special transducers that initiate resonant sound vibrations.  An audio/ visual system and biofeedback function are also incorporated as part of the program session. The client will lie on the foam mattress and wear stereo headphones. The vibrations will be adjusted to their comfort level. A pulse sensor will be attached to their finger in order to measure HRV (heart rate variability). The client will participate in a short biofeedback session in order to learn techniques that will help them make an emotional shift to a more coherent “state of ease” when certain triggers and stressors arise. Then the client will put on blackout glasses and listen to soothing music that is choreographed to the resonant vibrations of the mattress. Most people will attain theta level meditation in about 12 minutes. Then the messaging is delivered via audio affirmations and inspirational videos. Research has shown that affirmations will embed into the subconscious far more effectively when the subject is in this brainwave meditative state. When the session is complete most people feel a sense of well-being and are re-energized for the rest of the day. They also report a deeper sleep that night. A typical session will be about 45 minutes in duration.

Quit and Win Contests During COVID-19


Milford, Massachusetts 7/23/20- NicCheck has again been chosen to be the confirmation test to determine the winner of the ‘’Quit And Win Contest’’.

COVID-19 has impacted the world in so many ways. Our health system is overwhelmed, people are out of work and stress has been put on so many systems we have come to take for granted.  Things have drastically changed and we wait to see what the final “New Normal” will look like.

The “Quit and Win” Contests were no exception to the disruption. NicCheck tests were made available to contest organizers as usual to be used to determine winners.  Taiwan was the only contest to be able to complete the contest with the usual NicCheck confirmation testing

Taiwan, within the Tobacco Control Division, John Tung Foundation, changed the theme of the Campaign to “Quit Smoking to Increase Immunity”, to aid in the fight against Covid-19.  Since the disease affected the respiratory system and smokers were more susceptible this change was brilliant. While the number of participants was almost 50% less than the previous campaigns many people quit smoking because they wanted to reduce their susceptibility and because they could safely quit smoking at home during quarantine.

“As always we are proud to help in the efforts of these smoking cessation contests and look forward to participating in future programs”, quoted Don Mossman, President and CEO of Mossman Associates.

Milford, Massachusetts, 7/29/19-Mossman Associates Incorporated is pleased to announce that we are working along our Law Enforcement contacts to bring to these people the benefits associated with BioSound (R)  Healing Therapy.

It has been acknowledged nationally that the fine people making up our First Responders are under a great deal of stress and anxiety, often leading to depression, body aches, muscle tension, headaches, and sleep deprivation. All of this leading to elevated rates of depression, substance abuse and suicide.  We are committed to providing solutions to help these people manage and cope with these on-the-job stresses.

We recently place 2 units with the Fayetteville Police in North Carolina. One at the police station and one at their training center.  Funds were obtained at least in part from a grant from the Department Of Justice, who recognize the importance of such therapies.

NicCheck Is Used Again In The Quit To Win Challenge In Quebec




Milford, Massachusetts 7/29/19- Mossman Associates Incorporated is pleased to announce that once again NicCheck has been chosen to be the confirmation test to determine the winner of the ‘’Quit To Win Challenge’’ in Quebec.



Sophie Maisonneuve of Chargée de projets, Campagnes Sociétales at Capsana writes, “ As we do every year, we would like to acknowledge your ongoing help and support for the testing of our Quit to Win Challenge winners over many years using the NicCheck Nicotine test Strips.



This provincial smoking cessation campaign is now more than 20 years old and along with other government initiatives has helped to reduce smoking statistics from about 30% in the year 2000 to 18.3% in 2017.



In 2019, over 14,000 Quebecers registered for the Challenge of which almost 6,000 in the 35-49 years old age group (an increase of 24% over 2018).



Of those who registered for the 2019 edition of the campaign, 66% were female and 34% male.



Our statistics indicate that 60% of those registered succeed the 6-week challenge.  As we have done in past years, Capsana uses the NicCheck test to confirm our main Challenge winners.  We are very appreciative of the help and support you have provided once again for our 2019 campaign.



As always we are proud to be a part of these types of contests”, quotes Donald Mossman, President/CEO of Mossman Associates. 

He continues, “These Quit and Win competitions held in countries like Romania, Canada, and Taiwan are instrumental in helping people break the smoking habit.  We will continue to work with these countries, and organizations as we have over these many years”.



NicCheck is a dry chemistry dipstick for the semi-quantitative measurement of nicotine and nicotine metabolites in urine as an aid in the verification of a person’s true smoking status. This 15 minute test yields a semi-quantitative measurement of a person’s nicotine consumption based on the color intensity of the reaction found on the NicCheck test strips.
