About this app
Painometer is a smartphone app that helps users to assess momentary pain intensity. It allows to measure, store, display graphically and send a set of measures of pain intensity. It includes four well-validated pain intensity scales: the Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R), the Numerical Rating Scale (NS), the Coloured Analogue Scale (CAS), and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Settings and instructions are available in several languages: Catalan, Spanish, French, English and Portuguese.
This application has been winner of mHealth - Mobile World Capital Barcelona.
This application has been developed and tested by the Unit for the Study and Treatment of Pain - ALGOS, Rovira i Virgili University. More information at: http://algos-dpsico.urv.cat/en/painometer
Painometer is patient and health professional oriented.
The use of Painometer does not replace doctor-patient relationship.
The contents have been developed by a team of psychologists specialized in the assessment and treatment of pain. All the research group is linked to Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Dr. Jordi Miró, Rocío de la Vega, Elena Castarlenas, Elizabeth Sánchez-Rodríguez). The developers are Computer Engineers (Roman Roset) and technical engineers in telecommunications, specializing in Telematics (Pere Llorens-Vernet).
The creators of Painometer v 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.
