What does the app do?

This app allows you to keep track of your pain by recording its intensity, location, associated symptoms, description, aggravating factors, ineffective factors, alleviating factors, duration and environment. You can also keep a record of your medications and meaningful daily activities ('what did you do that mattered to you today?'). The paid upgrade version allows you to view more than 10 records and has improved sync capabilities. For a more detailed description of the app, see Google Play or App website and for a detailed review, see Reviews.

For the complete app description, go to Google Play (android) or the app website.

PROS	CONS
✔ Designed by doctors at a chronic pain clinic. ✔ Each section for pain details (location, symptoms etc) is customisable when logging. Note that medication is added in the profile section. ✔ Types of questions asked when logging are those that are useful to both doctor and patient capturing pain and function. ✔ Logging is fast and easy, and easy to read reports can be generated to pdf and then emailed or printed for sharing with your doctor. If your doctor is signed up, they can view your records remotely and it can alert them if the app detects that you are at risk. ✔ Reminds you to log your pain.	✘ Does not include education or information on pain and its management. ✘ Can only log 10 records at a time on the free version, but this would still be helpful. ✘ Available on Android only.
