Who We Are 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 stand-alone behavioral interventions or as complements to the efforts of health care providers.

Our Products
To date, PICS has received over 40 grants from various institutes of NIH including: 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 handheld computers and wireless communication systems, PICS engineered its own proprietary handheld 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.

Government Research Grants
PICS has been awarded over 40 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.
