Empowering Patients with Interactive Pain Mapping: An Inclusive Approach to App Development in Healthcare

剑桥数字健康通过我们的模块化平台CRUMS彻底改变了医疗保健应用程序的开发。随着几个以患者为中心的应用程序已经将患者与临床护理联系起来，我们认识到需要在CRUM环境中部署改进的疼痛记录功能。我们的使命是在我们未来的应用程序中增强身体地图功能的可用性和可访问性，以满足所有知识水平的患者。儿童、老年人和有学习困难或英语水平有限的个人将受益于用户友好和直观的身体地图界面。我们与众不同的是我们的创新方法。我们优先考虑用户反馈和包容性，采用尖端的方法。通过采用以人为本的设计，我们确保身体地图满足个人需求。我们的方法基于三大支柱：* 以人为本的设计：通过焦点小组和访谈吸引患者，我们根据他们的偏好和挑战量身定制身体地图。*迭代开发：根据患者和临床医生的反馈，不断改进交互式3D身体地图，最大限度地提高参与度和易用性。*包容性设计：通过与无障碍设计专家合作，我们确保该应用程序能够覆盖不同的患者群体。我们的项目旨在使患者能够准确地记录和跟踪他们的疼痛体验。通过革新疼痛评估和管理，我们努力在医疗保健领域产生重大影响。

Cambridge Digital Health has revolutionised healthcare app development with our modular platform, CRUMS. With several patient-focused apps already connecting patients to clinical care, we recognised the need for an improved pain logging feature deployable within our CRUM environment.Our mission is to enhance the usability and accessibility of the body map functionality in our future apps, catering to patients of all knowledge levels. Children, older adults, and individuals with learning difficulties or limited English proficiency will benefit from a user-friendly and intuitive body map interface.What sets us apart is our innovative approach. We prioritise user feedback and inclusivity, employing cutting-edge methodologies. By embracing a human-centred design, we ensure the body map caters to individual needs.Our methodology rests on three pillars:* Human-Centered Design: Engaging patients through focus groups and interviews, we tailor the body map to their preferences and challenges.* Iterative Development: Continuously improving the interactive 3D body map based on patient and clinician feedback maximises engagement and ease of use.* Inclusive Design: Collaborating with experts in accessible design we ensure the app reaches diverse patient groups.Our project aims to empower patients to accurately log and track their pain experiences. By revolutionising pain assessment and management, we strive to make a significant impact in healthcare.
