MyHealthTrends for Pain

MyHealthTrends™ for Pain leverages the MyHealthTrends infrastructure to help individuals with pain easily record their sensations with the click of a button. 

As an integral component, MyHealthTrends for Pain also employs a proprietary, patent-pending algorithm to calculate a Painful Distress Score which concisely communicates the pain level experienced by the user.

Users

MyHealthTrends for Pain is an invaluable tool for postoperative events and for those suffering from chronic or acute pain originating from:

• Arthritis
• Back or neck pain
• Cancer
• Depression
• Fibromyalgia
• Headaches
• Migraines
• Sciatica
• Other afflictions

Benefits

MyHealthTrends for Pain enables patients to:

1. Easily record the pain experienced in real-time - capturing accurate information
2. Shift from memory-based descriptions of experienced pain to data-driven, time based recordings
3. Provide objective evidence of the pain experienced

More importantly, MyHealthTrends for Pain enables practitioners (i.e., doctors, chiropractors, etc.) to more precisely:

1. Identify breakthrough pain episodes
2. Determine analgesic requirements
3. Prescribe the appropriate regimen with confidence
4. Monitor pain levels experienced by the patient

Process

Fully leveraging MyHealthTrends' technology and infrastructure, pain sufferers carry a small hand-held device. When the focus shifts 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.

Painful Distress Score

To enable healthcare professionals to quickly and effectively assess the impact of pain levels experienced by patients, MyHealthTrends for Pain provides a real-time Painful Distress 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 pain experienced over a defined time period.

Painful Distress Score

Painful Distress 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.
