Claim 5:
6. An article of manufacture including a non-transitory, tangible computer-readable memory having instructions stored thereon, a processor, and a display, where the processor executes the instructions to:
record information pertaining to a plurality of episodes of pain experienced by a subject over a period of time;
select each distinct pain type experienced during each episode of pain from a plurality of types of pain;
record each distinct pain type experienced during each episode of pain;
record a pain intensity of each distinct pain type;
cause the display to present a body representation of the subject;
record information pertaining to a location and boundaries of each distinct pain type for each episode of pain, in response to input circling the boundary on the body representation;
calculate, using the information pertaining to the location and the boundaries on the body representation where each pain type for each episode of pain occurred, a surface area of each distinct pain type for each episode of pain;
cause the display to show the surface area as a distinct pain type layer on the body representation at the location of the distinct pain type for the episode of pain; and
make the distinct pain type layer individually selectable for presentation on the display in connection with the pain intensity corresponding to the distinct pain type to which the distinct pain type layer corresponds; and
compute and selectively output a temporal display of composite data of a change, over the period of time, in the surface area and the pain intensity for the pain type over the plurality of episodes of pain in the pain intensity of each distinct type of pain for each episode of pain, and in the surface area of each distinct type of pain for each episode of pain, the computing and selectively outputting the temporal display being conducted:
(i) individually for each distinct type of pain of the plurality of pain types over the plurality of episodes of pain and
(ii) collectively for the plurality of pain types over the plurality of episodes of pain.
