Brits Create PDA Pain Tool
(November 13, 2006) Researchers at Brunel University in Uxbridge, England, have developed a handheld system that enables patients to record and rate pain. The Web-based system features a three-dimensional rotating visualization of the human body to help patients better explain the location of their pain.
Patients can mark their pain on an area of the 3D body then classify it as burning, aching, stabbing, pins and needles, or numbness. The pain data and image then can be stored and reviewed by physicians.
Researchers plan to use the software to help improve identification and treatment of back pain. For more information, click here.
