PainBit的设计与开发：一款支持慢性疼痛患者记录疼痛的便携式设备
Design and Development of PainBit: a Portable Device for Supporting Patients with Chronic Pain to Log their Pain
AI总结：
针对慢性疼痛记录仍依赖纸笔或手机应用的问题，本文设计便携式疼痛追踪设备PainBit，并通过两项为期两周的患者案例研究与访谈验证其实用性及相较手机的偏好优势。
摘要：
最近，我们看到慢性病患者对追踪其健康相关数据的兴趣日益增长。目前有许多可穿戴设备可用于追踪不同的健康数据。然而，疼痛追踪主要仍通过纸笔或移动应用程序完成。我们与一名医疗专业人员合作，设计了一款便携式疼痛追踪器PainBit。为了解患者对我们追踪器的看法，我们对慢性疼痛患者开展了两项案例研究。我们要求患者使用PainBit两周，随后对他们进行半结构化访谈。患者认为PainBit有助于追踪他们的疼痛，并且相比使用手机，他们更偏好使用实体设备PainBit来追踪疼痛。患者建议在后续迭代中减小PainBit的尺寸和重量。我们报告了在设计过程和评估研究中获得的经验教训。
英文摘要：
Recently, we have seen growing interest among patients with chronic conditions to track their health-related data. There are many wearable devices available to track different health data. However, tracking pain is mostly done by using pen and paper or mobile apps. In collaboration with a healthcare professional we designed a portable pain tracker, PainBit. To gain an understanding of patients' perspectives on our tracker, we conducted two case studies with patients living with chronic pain. We asked patients to use PainBit for two weeks and later conducted semi-structured interviews with them. Patients found PainBit useful for tracking their pain and they preferred using a physical device, PainBit, to track their pain over using a mobile phone. Patients suggested reducing the size and weight of PainBit in the next iterations. We report on the lessons learnt through our design process and the evaluation studies.
