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

收集和跟踪准确和可靠的信息，从病人处理心理反应有关的快速和突然的变化，他们的健康状况或个人情况是非常困难的，唯一的信息来源是病人的自我报告基于他们的记忆.患者通常只能记住几个疼痛波动的例子，并且他们很难详细描述每个例子。他们的疼痛体验的描述往往是模糊的，一般没有明确的具体信息（日期/时间，地点，持续时间和强度）的参考。心理健康解决方案（PHS），临床医疗保健实践提供心理评估和治疗服务，正在寻求与兰顿学院信息技术研究小组合作，以加强我们的“PainTracker”技术的设计和开发。这项技术将使患者能够记录他们的疼痛经历，包括疼痛位置、严重程度评级、持续时间和描述（预先确定的常见描述以及包括定制描述的能力）等细节。兰顿学院的IT研究小组将开发软件、门户网站和移动的平台，使患者能够记录其他日常功能，如药物摄入、食物摄入、活动水平、情绪状态、睡眠和其他有用的信息。除了在PHS拥有的诊所使用“疼痛追踪器”技术外，PHS还将利用与其他诊所的关系，医院和政府机构在更广泛的医疗保健领域推广这项技术。
