Your clients can't accurately recall a week of use. Now they don't have to.
SmokingTracker captures consumption, mood, and cravings the moment they happen - not reconstructed in session days later. Three taps to log. One click to get session-ready data. And for clients who aren't ready to share anything yet - the tool works for them alone first.
What is SmokingTracker?
SmokingTracker is a clinical SaaS tool for outpatient substance use disorder treatment centers. Clients log cannabis or tobacco use in real time — three taps, no cognitive load. Clinicians see a live dashboard with traffic-light status, trigger patterns, and one-click PDF reports. Built on Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA). HIPAA-ready.
This is a clinical tool. Here's the evidence it's built on.
No marketing claims - only research and the design decisions that follow from it.
Retrospective self-report distorts frequency, timing, and context. Ecological Momentary Assessment captures behavior as it happens - not reconstructed from memory days later - dramatically improving ecological validity.1
EMA has been validated across cannabis use disorder research specifically as a method for capturing dynamic mood–craving–use relationships that structured clinical interviews consistently miss.6

Why it works where other tools fail
Built for impaired working memory
Built for clients who don't trust you yet
Session-ready data, no prep work
How It Works
Three steps from invitation to session-ready clinical data - no technical requirements for the client.
Invite the Client
Create an invitation from the Practitioner Dashboard. The client receives a link via email, SMS, or a manual handoff - whatever fits. No app downloads required.
They Track Between Sessions - in the Moment, Not From Memory
The client logs sessions, mood, and emotional triggers when they happen - not reconstructed in a clinical setting days later.
You See Patterns Before the Next Session
Your dashboard flags who needs attention - traffic light status, week-over-week trends, and trigger alarms - before clients walk through the door.
The tool works for the client first. Sharing is their choice.
Three taps. No cognitive load required.
- Three required taps - nothing more
- Optional: mood, trigger, location, and notes
- Fast-use warning - client is notified in the moment
Start private. Share when ready.
- Works as a private self-monitoring tool first - no sharing required
- Share session log, mood, triggers, and notes independently
- Consent can be extended or withdrawn at any time
Know which clients need you before they tell you.
- Traffic light status: Green, Yellow, or Red at a glance
- Custom trigger alarms - notify by app, email, or SMS
- Print-ready PDF in one click - attach to any EHR system
"A client sharing only 'logged today' is still valuable - it tells you they're engaging. Gradually extending data sharing is itself a therapeutic process."
