Advanced Healthcare Services Enabled by a Computerized Pain Body Map

Abstract

Pain Body Maps are promising tools for patients with advanced cancer. We briefly present Computerised Pain Body Maps from the literature, and contrast them with our own CPBM specifically designed for this patient group. Furthermore, we ponder the fact that current CPBMs do not really offer any more functionality than the paper PBMs, but show how a fully-functioning CPBM system is a prerequisite to many innovations in pain management.
