Description

This app helps you understand, track, and share what you feel every day. It also helps your doctor see what types of pain are responding to the treatments being tried.

WHY DID WE MAKE THIS?
You hurt. Your pain is chronic and complicated. You can’t remember everything. You want your doctors to understand, but you don’t know how to explain what you feel.

PAIN IS LIFE-CHANGING. HELP IS HERE.
Nanolume® developed the Pain Tracker & Diary to help you record the daily textures, intensities, and locations of what you feel, so you and your care team can better understand what you are suffering with and follow how your pain responds to medications and treatments.

TRACK IT BETTER. TREAT IT BETTER.
Pain is a complex experience. It often includes multiple pain types (layers), each with its own unique texture, intensity, location, and surface area.

By keeping a diary that keeps a record of complex information, you can show your doctors what you are feeing to help them make a better diagnosis, choose more appropriate medications and treatments, and monitor if your treatments are helping. In addition, by keeping such an detailed record, trends might emerge that would otherwise go unnoticed.

PAIN IS DIFFERENT.
Pain is a subjective (not objective) sensation that can't be measured. Its assessment relies on each person’s ability to communicate what they feel. Nanolume® developed this digital diary to help you record and remember what you feel every day.

INCLUDED FEATURES.
Create a "Diary Entry":
• Choose a Pain Type. Press "+" (top-right corner of Entries/Charts screen). Read the pain types listed on the menu or create a custom pain type. Tap the icon of the pain type you feel is most intense (you can come back to add another pain type to this entry before you tap "Done").
• Select the Intensity. Select the numeric intensity of the pain type you selected.
• Draw an Outline. Use your finger to draw an “outline” of the pain type you selected on the front and/or back sides of a generalized body map.
• Calculated Surface Areas. The app displays the % of body surface affected by each of the pain types drawn or shows the total % of body surface feeling pain.
• Zoom. Need to see a larger image of your hand or foot? Double-tap: "once" to zoom x2; "twice" to zoom x4; "a third time" to restore the image to its original size. We also offer pinch-to-zoom.
• Notes. Tap the “Notepad” in the top-left corner of each diary entry to record any details of your medications or treatment results.
• Tap "Add Pain." You can draw more than one pain type in each entry.
• Save Your Diary Entry. Tap "Done" to create a snapshot of all the pain type layers you need to draw in each entry. The app records the date/time each entry was saved.
• Open a Saved Entry. Tap on the date/time of the entry you want to review. Look at the intensity, location, and surface area of each distinct pain type you experienced (by touching the icon of the pain type you want to see) or see all the pain types at once and see how they overlap (tap the "All Layers" icon). Swipe the picture left or right to check how your other saved pain entries compare over time.
• Charts. View a summary of your data in "Charts."
• Forget to Save an Entry? Go back and recreate a "pain picture" from the past; then, use the "Calendar" icon to backdate the recreated entry.
• Calendar Backdating. Touch the "Calendar" icon to backdate any pain-picture you draw to create a record of what you remember from the past.
• Copy/Edit. Copy or edit a copy of a previous entry.
• CSV Export. Email or save a numeric file of your data; open that data in a spreadsheet.
• Interactive Summary & Animation. Play an animation of your data to see how each or all of your pain types change within the time period you choose by selecting the corresponding start/stop dates.
• PDF Export. Save or share your drawings, charts, notes.

What’s New

Version 4.14

Dark mode has been added and can be turned on in Settings (located by tapping the "i" icon in the top-left corner of the Entries/Charts screen). A problem with adding more than one pain type ["Add Pain"] in each diary entry after activating pinch-to-zoom has been resolved. Weighted mean pain intensities between 0.9-10 are now displayed with 2 significant figures. This version also includes minor updates, bug fixes and stability improvements.

Tina's touch ,

Good, but would like more features

This is good for logging pain location, type, and intensity.
However, sometimes it’s difficult drawing accurately while you’re experiencing the pain, I wish I could do a pain map, which I can draw on to show these attributes, and then simply touch the one that’s affecting me at the time. Also, it would be useful to have a body outline which includes the skeleton, since a lot of my pain is skeletal.

Sometimes it’s vey difficult to explain to the dr. exactly where the pain is.

Thank you.

Good pain tracker app

This app meets my needs for a tracker which is quick and simple to use, yet has enough features and flexibility to make it genuinely useful for tracking different kinds of pain.

The ability to draw on the area of pain is extremely helpful, and the menu for adding types of pain is very intuitive. The playback feature is a nice touch and the developer has put a lot of thought into making the app as feature rich and helpful as possible.

It’s good that it’s available on both iPhone and iPad, but it would be useful if you could link accounts across devices.

It would also be good if you could select more than one type of pain at once so that you don’t have to add each entry individually, but this is still a very solid app

Not bad but needs more features

It’s good at what it does but desperately needs a feature to display the graphs over a longer period such as month by month, year by year. Failing this, being able to export the pain ratings to Excel would be helpful.

Developer Response ,

Hopefully you are no longer living with persistent pain. However, if you are, we added new features that lets you export your data as a CSV files that can be opened as an Excel spreadsheet. We also added an in-app purchase that allows you to create a PDF file of your charts, pictures, and notes. Our apologies for not responding to you earlier, but we only recently obtained access to our UK user comments. To discuss any of the above, please contact us: support@nanolume.com. Thank you.
