3D technology helps locate pain
A 3D program that helps patients describe the pain that always tortures them most accurately and intuitively is being developed by Brunel University (UK).

The program aims to get information from people who use wheelchairs to see how they feel when doing homework.
Until now, when visiting a doctor, patients still have to explain how their pain and intensity are through speech. This reduces the accuracy in showing pain and can lead to diagnostic errors.
Just a simple PDA, users can download the software wherever there is an Internet connection. The device including this software has been tested at members of Hillingdon Independent Wheelchair Users Group within 2 years.
Patients can use a regular PDA, which costs around $ 300 to indicate the area they feel pain on a 3D body, allowing users to zoom in on each area as well as rotate images in different angles. . In addition, they can categorize pain in each area into forms such as intense pain (burning), aches (aching), stabbing, numbness . with different colors. .
These data will be stored on PDAs and with continuous updates at the patient's home, doctors will quickly get a look at the changes in the client's condition.
Currently, researchers hope to attract investment to be able to widely use this product in hospitals.
