Developing a mHealth Routine Outcome Monitoring and Feedback App (“SMART Track”) to Support Self-Management of Addictive Behaviours

Routine outcome monitoring (ROM) has been implemented across a range of addiction treatment services, settings and organizations. Mutual support groups are a notable exception. Innovative solutions are needed. SMART Track is a purpose built smartphone app designed to capture ROM data and provide tailored feedback to adults attending Australian SMART Recovery groups for addictive behaviour(s).

This paper provides a pragmatic example of how principles embedded in published frameworks can be operationalized to address these priorities during the design and development of the SMART Track app.
