🌿 Built for outpatient cannabis use disorder treatment

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.

Built on peer-reviewed research

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.

Recall bias

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

Proximal triggers

EMA studies of cannabis use show that craving, state anxiety, and social context predict use episodes - but only when measured in the moment. These associations vanish entirely in retrospective data.23

Measurement-based care

Organizing longitudinal self-reported data into consistent, structured formats - MBC principles - has strong evidence for improving clinical outcomes when feedback is timely and systematic.45

Treatment engagement

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

Three taps

Built for impaired working memory

Private first

Built for clients who don't trust you yet

One click

Session-ready data, no prep work

How It Works

Three steps from invitation to session-ready clinical data - no technical requirements for the client.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

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
Practitioner Dashboard - Client overview

"A client sharing only 'logged today' is still valuable - it tells you they're engaging. Gradually extending data sharing is itself a therapeutic process."

From 3-tap EMA logging to the Measurement-Based Care dashboard - SmokingTracker is built around the features outpatient CBT and harm reduction programs actually use. See the full picture on the features page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SmokingTracker?
SmokingTracker is a clinical SaaS tool for outpatient substance use disorder treatment centers. Clients log cannabis or tobacco consumption in real time using a three-tap mobile interface — no cognitive load required. Clinicians access a live dashboard showing usage trends, traffic-light status, trigger patterns, and one-click exportable PDF reports. SmokingTracker is built on Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA), the gold-standard methodology for capturing behavior as it happens rather than from memory.
Who uses SmokingTracker?
SmokingTracker is used by outpatient treatment centers, Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs), independent addiction counselors, and telehealth platforms treating cannabis use disorder (CUD) or tobacco use disorder. It is designed for programs where clients are seen weekly or bi-weekly and need structured, reliable between-session data to guide clinical decision-making.
What substances does SmokingTracker track?
SmokingTracker primarily tracks cannabis (including flower, concentrate, and edibles) and tobacco or nicotine use. Clients log session type, quantity, mood, cravings, and contextual triggers at the moment of use. The tool is built specifically for cannabis use disorder treatment but is widely used in polysubstance programs where cannabis and tobacco co-occur.
Is SmokingTracker HIPAA compliant?
SmokingTracker is built on a Privacy by Design architecture. A HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is available on Enterprise plans for US-based treatment centers. All plans include a GDPR Data Processing Agreement (DPA). The platform's data handling approach is designed to align with 42 CFR Part 2 substance use confidentiality requirements.
Does SmokingTracker require a mobile app download?
No. SmokingTracker runs in the browser on any smartphone, tablet, or computer. Clients access their tracking tool via a link sent by their clinician — no app store download required. The practitioner dashboard is also fully browser-based. This removes a major barrier to client adoption, particularly for clients with lower digital literacy or limited phone storage.
How is client data privacy handled?
Clients own their data. They control what they share with their clinician through granular consent toggles — session logs, mood data, trigger notes, and craving data can each be shared or withheld independently. Sharing can be extended or withdrawn at any time without losing their own history. Data is never sold and is never used for advertising purposes.
What does SmokingTracker cost?
SmokingTracker offers three plans. The Solo Practitioner plan is $79/month (or $790/year) for one therapist seat with unlimited active clients. The Group Practice plan is $249/month (or $2,490/year) for up to five counselors plus a clinical director dashboard. Enterprise pricing with a HIPAA BAA, EHR integration support, and API access is available on request. All plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
How does SmokingTracker improve treatment outcomes?
SmokingTracker replaces retrospective self-report — which research consistently shows is distorted by memory bias — with real-time Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA). EMA captures mood, cravings, and contextual triggers at the moment of use, not reconstructed days later in session. This gives clinicians data that is more accurate and more actionable: it reveals which social contexts, times of day, and emotional states predict use episodes. Research on Measurement-Based Care (MBC) shows that timely, systematic client feedback improves clinical outcomes across substance use disorder treatment settings.
