Nicotine from all types of tobacco breaks-down in the human body and is eliminated in urine. These nicotine metabolites produce a shade of reddish-pink on the Nicotine Test Strip that depends on the amount of nicotine metabolites. The more nicotine metabolites present, the darker the reddish-pink color. This color is read by any smartphone camera and analyzed by our computer algorithm which relates that specific color to a specific level of nicotine metabolites. To calculate nicotine levels, we use sophisticated techniques such as computer vision, machine learning, and neural network architecture.
