 
PICS, Inc. is a health behavior technology company dedicated to developing
products that address health behaviors such as tobacco cessation, healthy diet
and adequate exercise, which are concerns for a large majority of the
population worldwide. Management of these health behaviors is critical to the
control and prevention of addictions, cancer, heart disease and numerous other
medical conditions. The products of PICS are targeted to both the
consumer and professional markets and are available as standalone
behavioral interventions or as complements to the efforts of health care
providers.
 To date, PICS has
received over 50 grants from various institutes of NIH, which in part funded
the development of : QuitKey and LifeSign, a tobacco cessation family of
products, and DietMate, a comprehensive diet and exercise product family for
weight, cholesterol and hypertension control. PICS has an active research and
development program with work in behavioral self-monitoring, medication
adherence, and insomnia in addition to our core areas of tobacco, diet, and
exercise.
 PICS has over 15
years of experience in computerized applications to assess and change behaviors
that improve health. Prior to the advent of multipurpose handheld computer
systems such as hand-held computers and wireless communication systems, PICS
engineered its own proprietary hand-held units to perform tobacco cessation and
dietary/exercise modification. With the increasingly widespread availability of
handheld computer systems and wireless or synchronous interactivity with the
internet, PICS has shifted its development focus to these platforms to deliver
powerful and comprehensive applications to monitor and change health behaviors.
PICS has been awarded over 50 grants from the National Institutes of
Health to develop and evaluate health behavior products. Much of this work has
been presented at national or international professional conferences and/or
published in scientific journals. For more information about PICS
