Chronic Pain Diary 1.21

Since September 4, 2017, the Chronic Pain Diary has been offered free of charge, aiming to provide accessible pain management support to a broad user base.

Managing chronic pain symptoms can be challenging, but documenting them need not be complicated.

The Chronic Pain Diary facilitates efficient tracking of pain levels alongside associated symptoms and treatments through a user-friendly interface. Features include a color-coded calendar, clear graphical representations, and swift data entry options. Users can export visual data such as graphs and calendars via email and can also transfer all recorded data as a comma-separated values (CSV) file for compatibility with desktop applications.

Adding new symptoms, treatments, or notes is designed to be quick, often completed within seconds, simplifying the ongoing process of chronic pain management.

The application permits customization by allowing users to assign specific names to symptoms, treatments, and notes. Examples include back and hip pain, pain relief, Lyme disease symptoms, Lupus symptoms, Fibromyalgia, and depression symptoms.

• Minimal taps are required to log entries—just a few seconds to input data and then resume daily activities. The app emphasizes streamlined health tracking.
• Input involves naming the entry, optionally adding notes, selecting entry type (treatment, symptom, or note), assigning a rating from 0 to 10, and timestamping it.
• Multiple profiles can be created, each maintaining its individual calendar and data records.
• Repeated entry names can be reused for efficiency when logging similar or recurring data points.
• Entries can be sorted alphabetically or by frequency of use for convenience.
• Color-coded symptom lists visually distinguish between low and high ratings at a glance.
• The calendar interface displays daily high ratings for symptoms and treatments using color coding.
• Distinct colors, with dynamic blending—red for symptoms and green for treatments—enhance visual clarity in lists and calendar views.
• Graphical representations illustrate daily fluctuations in symptom severity with high and low point markers annotated with timestamps.
• Drag gestures across the calendar allow users to view aggregated high points over selected date ranges.
• Data exports include email options for calendar images and graphical summaries.
• Dropbox integration provides options for secure storage backups on the go.
• All profile-specific database entries can be exported via email in CSV format for further analysis or record keeping.
• The display of entries can be toggled on or off, with options to exclude them from visual exports if desired.
• A user guide video is available to assist new users in maximizing the app’s capabilities.
