症状控制是提供有效姑息治疗的最重要的组成部分之一，而充分的症状评估是良好症状控制的先决条件。在姑息家庭医疗中接受治疗的患者在地理上与照顾者分开，这使得症状控制成为一项挑战，这一挑战可以通过使用信息和通信技术来应对。今天的技术为患者提供了不同的方式来在家里评估他们的症状，并将评估发送给医疗保健提供者。例如使用PC、按键电话和数字笔，这些都需要患者家中的不同类型的基础设施，而且它们的优缺点也不同。作为林坪大学医院以医院为基础的家庭护理诊所正在进行的质量保证工作的一部分，该项目设计、开发和实施了一个使用数字笔和移动互联网技术为在家的患者进行疼痛评估的IT支持系统。一项问卷调查表明，使用数字笔进行疼痛评估被患者接受，问题主要出现在视觉模拟评分的使用上。
Symptom control is one of the most important components of delivering effective palliative care, and adequate symptom assessment is a prerequisite for good symptom control. Patients receiving treatment in palliative home healthcare is geographically separated from the caregivers making symptom control a challenge, a challenge that could be met by the use of information and communication technology. Technologies of today offer different ways for patients to assess their symptoms at home and send the assessments to the healthcare provider. Examples are the use of a PC, a touch-tone telephone, and a digital pen, which require different kinds of infrastructure in the patient's home, and which differ in strengths and weaknesses. As part of an ongoing quality assurance work within the hospital-based home care clinic at Linköping University Hospital, the project has designed, developed and implemented an IT-support system for pain assessments for patients at home using digital pen and mobile Internet technology. A questionnaire study indicated that pain assessment using digital pens was accepted by patients and that problems mainly arose from the use of the visual-analogue scale.
