Problem
Cigarette use remains a leading cause of chronic conditions and preventable death, yet traditional cessation programs often lack personalization and sustained engagement. Employees who smoke cost employers an estimated $151 billion annually in productivity losses, and many individuals struggle to quit without structured, ongoing support.
Solution
Pivot is a tech-enabled behavioral change platform that empowers people to cultivate enduring behavioral changes, focusing on reducing major risk factors impacting chronic conditions caused by cigarette use. The core offering, Pivot Breathe, is a comprehensive, clinically validated program that supports each individual's quit journey by encouraging members to track cigarette use, challenge long-standing habits with healthier behaviors, engage with a coach, and celebrate successes. The platform combines a breath sensor that measures carbon monoxide levels with a mobile app, personalized coaching, and community support. Pivot partners with organizations of all sizes to deliver long-lasting behavioral change solutions, leading to significant reductions in healthcare costs, and the breath sensor is also available for individual purchase at Walgreens.
Target Audience
Primary customers are employers, health plans, and organizations of all sizes seeking to reduce healthcare costs by improving employee well-being, as well as individual smokers who want a structured, tech-driven approach to quitting.
