People in pain could soon use a 3D computer program to explain how severe their symptoms are.
It has been developed by a team at Brunel University to help wheelchair users log, from home, how they are feeling during the course of a day.
Currently, patients have to detail how their pain has been on pen and paper during their visits to the doctor.
The program, which only requires a standard portable computer, can be uploaded by doctors at any point.
It means doctors can build up information on how pain changes and the types of pain a patient has.
The device has been tested by about 15 people in the Hillingdon Independent Wheelchair Users Group, based in west London, for almost two years.
