Collecting and tracking accurate and reliable information from patients dealing with psychological reactions related to rapid andx000D
abrupt changes to their health status or personal situation is very difficult and the only source of information is patients self-reportx000D
based on their memory. Patients often can only remember a few instances of pain fluctuations and it is very difficult for them tox000D
describe each instance in great detail. Descriptions of their pain experience are often vague and generally without clear referencex000D
to specific information (date/time, location, duration and intensity).x000D
Psychology Health Solution (PHS), a clinical healthcare practice providing psychological assessment and treatment services, isx000D
looking to collaborate with Lambton Colleges Information Technology Research group to enhance the design and developmentx000D
of our "PainTracker" technology. This technology will enable patients the ability to record their experiences of pain with detailsx000D
such as pain location, severity rating, duration and descriptions (pre-determined common descriptions as well as ability to includex000D
custom descriptions). The Lambton College IT research group will develop software, web portal and mobile platform that willx000D
enable patients to record other daily functions such as medication intake, food intake, activity level, emotional state, sleep andx000D
other useful information.x000D
In addition to using the "PainTracker" technology in PHS's owned clinics, PHS will capitalize on relationships with other clinics,x000D
hospitals and Government agencies to market this technology in the wider healthcare field.
