Abstract

This paper proposes a touch panel interface to support an explanation of pains by choosing options. Medical staffs of rehabilitation must understand pain information of patients. Patients would explain their pains with words and gestures. The explanation of pain depends on the expression of the patient. If the patient does not explain his/her pains accurately, the medical staff may not have enough treatment for the patient. The proposed interface provides patients with support to explain their pains. The users input four types of pain information: the occurring condition, the part of the body, the feeling of pain, and the degree of pain. The four types of information can be input by choosing options. The interface users can explain their pains regardless of their vocabulary. We carried out an experiment to verify the efficiency of the proposed interface. We found that the proposed interface could support users to explain their pains.
