The new Pain Tracker (http://www.medhelp.org/land/pain-tracker) is the latest tracker available on MedHelp.org and is the first to focus on pain. Joining an already extensive list of health trackers, including ovulation, weight, mood, and sleep, trackers, the Pain Tracker is an interactive tool that allows members to record the location, intensity and quality of pain on a daily basis along with symptoms and treatments used to alleviate pain. The Pain Tracker utilizes a body map to locate pain, creating a visual history of the member's pain that can be played back and shared with doctors. "Pain is an unfortunate symptom of many different health conditions, from fibromyalgia to arthritis and from cancer to autoimmune disorders, and one of the leading reasons why people turn to the Internet for help. It is also one of the most difficult symptoms to quantify and discuss with physicians," said John de Souza, MedHelp CEO. MedHelp, with over six million monthly users, is an online health community site connecting people with shared medical experiences. MedHelp provides its users with access to advice from experts at the top medical institutions such as the Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins, National Jewish, Partners Health, drugstore.com, inc. and Mount Sinai. MedHelp members can access an online archive of millions of posts across hundreds of medical conditions. In addition, MedHelp offers personalized user accounts, information on health topics and treatments, and an extensive set of health tools to help users track and and monitor various health conditions. |
