Quitting Time Watch (QT-Watch)
ElectroMed Technologies LLC
Pharmacy Times (Jamesburg, NJ, September 2002)
 ElectroMed
Technologies has developed a device to assist the estimated 50% to 60%
of smokers trying to kick their habit. Although OTC nicotine replacement
products and medication help in the short term, studies show a small
success rate for smoking cessation after 6 months. The QT-Watch offers
long-term reinforcement, designed to increase the effectiveness of
current smoking cessation products or for use on its own for those
choosing a "cold-turkey" approach. While it looks and performs as a
standard digital watch, the QT-Watch can be custom programmed to the
individual smoker to perform unique functions. its 500 motivational
computerized messages guide smokers into smoking less and maintaining
their cessation by assistant with daily goals, metering time between
cigarettes, and providing medication reminders. The watch will be
available this month in 2 models, wristwatch or clip-on at a suggested
retail price of $139.95. To learn more about the product, call
