About this app
Painometer is a smartphone app used to assess and record pain intensity over time. It includes four of the most widely used scales to measure pain intensity, which are: the Faces of Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R), the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Color Analogue Scale (CAS). In addition, it allows you to point out where in the body pain is experienced. Settings and instructions are available in several languages: Catalan, Spanish, French, English and Portuguese.
This application has been developed and tested by the ALGOS - Research on Pain research group, linked to the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV). More information at: http://www.dolorinfantil.urv.cat. It is aimed at health professionals and patients. The use of Painometer is not a substitute for the doctor-patient relationship. The contents have been developed by specialist psychologists in the evaluation and treatment of pain linked to the Universitat Rovira i Virgili. The developers are telematics and computer engineers.
The creators of Painometer are committed to reviewing the content and functionality of the application and to improve it on the basis of the available scientific and technical evidence.
