Taat Acquires Break Free Smoking Cessation App
Taat Global Alternatives plans to acquire the smoking cessation app, Break Free, to complement its flagship product, TAAT.

Taat Global Alternatives company is planning to acquire a smartphone application called "Break Free" from Boksburg Ventures. The application is designed to provide smoking cessation strategies and utilizes advanced technology such as diagnostic modules, augmented and virtual reality psychological health simulations, and day and night rhythm sensors to help adult smokers personalize and customize the use of cessation devices.

The Taat plan involves integrating other patented features and developing an application for use on Android and iOS smartphones by consumers.
