The Platform

Five Capabilities, One System

HandHeld Monitoring fills the gap between clinical encounters with continuous, automated monitoring across compliance, emotional wellbeing, and emotional health rehabilitation.

🔒

Compliance Monitoring

Automated random urine test scheduling. Nursing station dashboard or fully automated LabCorp collection. Clients can’t guess a “using window.”

💬

Daily Emotional Check-in

CBT-aligned daily check-in via phone call, web, or smartphone. Mood, stress, cravings, life satisfaction, and medication compliance — every day.

🎤

Voice Analytics

Voice journaling with speech-to-text and emotion detection. Compares self-reported emotion to voice-inferred emotion — a behavioral measure of emotional self-awareness.

🚨

Real-Time Alerts

Text and email notifications to caseworkers, physicians, family, and court appointees for missed check-ins, emotional distress, and compliance violations.

🧠

Emotional Health Toolkit

Emotional self-awareness, empathy training, and executive function games — rebuilding the emotional maturity that was stopped in its tracks by addiction. New

Three check-in channels: phone call (any phone), web browser, or smartphone — universal access for all client populations.

Beyond Compliance

Rebuilding What Addiction Took Away

Research shows that when substance use begins, emotional development stalls at the age of first use. A person who started using at 14 and enters recovery at 40 may have the emotional maturity of a teenager.

Up to 67% of people in treatment have alexithymia — the inability to identify and name their own emotions. HandHeld Monitoring’s Emotional Health Toolkit gives caregivers and clients the tools to rebuild these critical capacities together.

🪞

Learn — Emotional Self‑Awareness

Daily check-ins teach clients to identify, name, and rate their emotions — rebuilding the internal vocabulary that substance use suppressed.

🤝

Connect — Empathy Awareness

Interactive empathy scenarios help clients recognize and respond to others’ emotions — a skill directly correlated with fewer relapses.

🧠

Rebuild — Executive Function

Scenario-based decision games retrain impulse control, planning, and reasoning — the prefrontal cortex functions that addiction impairs most.

All three tools are administered, controlled, and monitored by the caregiver — with full progress visibility for both clinician and client.

Relapses have dropped dramatically since we adopted HandHeld Monitoring. Clients are more accountable to program compliance. We can monitor our clients more closely and evade relapses when there is a hint of trouble.
