BenefitsMyHealthTrends for Pain enables patients to:
More importantly, MyHealthTrends for Pain enables practitioners (i.e., doctors, chiropractors, etc.) to more precisely:
ProcessFully leveraging MyHealthTrends' technology and infrastructure, pain sufferers carry a small hand-held device. When the focus is shifted from normal activities to the sensations of pain, the individual presses the button and the pain episode is recorded within the device. Periodically, the patient or the healthcare provider plugs the device to a computer's USB port where the data is downloaded and stored within MyHealthTrends' secure, remote database. Users can then graphically view their pain history online, print the charts, or electronically share the results with their doctors to help isolate pain factors and to affect treatment. Additionally, users can update their profiles and manage their handheld devices. MyHealthTrends for Pain: Online Reports Functional Pain Impact ScoreTo enable healthcare professionals to quickly and effectively assess the impact of pain levels experienced by patients, MyHealthTrends for Pain provides a real-time Functional Pain Impact Score ranging from 0.0 (lowest) to 10.0 (highest). The underlying proprietary, patent-pending algorithm employs the concept of exponential decay, the same function that describes dissociation of a ligand from a receptor site, to calculate total loss of function due to pain experienced over a defined time period.
 Functional Pain Impact Scores are easily compared and trended over time -- providing a unique tool for healthcare professionals to understand changes in pain levels experienced by the patient and the activities they are (or are not) able to conduct. Consumer VersionsTo meet the diverse tastes of consumers, the MyHealthTrends for Pain handheld device will be available in multiple stylish designs, each with a retail price of $59.99. The consumer version is expected to be available by late 2009. Hospital-Based VersionThe institutional version (for hospitals, nursing homes, etc.) of MyHealthTrends for Pain will allow hospital patients to project the degree of their pain distress to their healthcare team in real-time. This version will, if necessary, alert the healthcare team of a required pain management intervention. The institutional version will incorporate technological elements developed for the consumer version of MyHealthTrends for Pain. The data acquisition device will be based upon a modification of the MyHealthTrends handheld device. Data processing, storage, and reporting solutions will incorporate components of MyHealthTrends. Rather than leveraging secure Internet connections, data transmission will use existing wireless data transmission protocols. Development of the institutional-based version of MyHealthTrends for Pain is projected to begin in 2010.  Copyright © 2010 BAETA Corp. All rights reserved.
