Patent ID: 8021298

Claim:
A computerized method of mapping pain depth, the method comprising: displaying at least one body representation on a display, wherein the body representation represents at least a portion of the body of the user; receiving at least one pain location user input indicating at least one user-selected pain location on the body representation, the pain location user input being generated by activating a user input device while an indicator is located at the user-selected location on the body representation corresponding to a location of pain experienced by the user; displaying a cross-section of the body representation at the user-selected location; receiving at least one pain depth user input indicating user-selected pain depth locations on the cross-section of the body representation, the pain depth user input being generated by continuously activating a user input device for a period of time while moving an indicator across the user-selected pain depth locations on the cross-section of the body representation corresponding to pain depth experienced by the user within the body; displaying symptom representations at the user-selected pain depth locations on the cross-section of the body representation in response to the pain depth user input, wherein the symptom representations are displayed as the indicator moves across the user-selected pain depth locations to delineate a user-defined pain depth region at least partially filled in with the symptom representations on the cross-section of the body representation; and recording a pain map formed by at least one user-defined pain depth region to evaluate the pain experienced by the user.
