My Pain Tracker

My Pain Tracker (MPT) is an app that the research team at CAPS have developed for children and young people with pain and JIA. The app ‘tracks’ pain through the use of symbols, faces, words and colours. The app also asks questions about what the pain has stopped you from doing during the day.

In October we had a stand at the British Society for Paediatric and Adolescent Rheumatology in Southampton to demonstrate MPT. We wanted to know how doctors and health professionals would like the data from the app presented in clinic. We received lots of valuable feedback and had a lot of interest in the app being used in clinics, which we will use to develop MPT further.
