Technology is disclosed for detecting scratch events and predicting flares of pruritus, utilizing motion data sensed from a wearable sensor. Detecting scratch may be done with a two-tier approach by first detecting a hand motion from motion sensed data and then classifying that hand motion as a scratch event using one or more computerized classification models. Embodiments may focus on detecting nighttime scratch by utilizing motion sensed data captured during a user's detected sleep opportunity. Additionally, historical scratch event data may be used to predict a user's itch and flare risk for a future time interval. Decision support tools in the form of computer applications or services may utilize the detected scratch events or predicted itch or flare risk to initiate an action for reducing current itch and/or mitigating future risk, including initiating a treatment protocol that includes therapeutic agent.
