The Collaboration

Aims

Low cost device

Simple App

Evidence of Efficacy

3

Pain experience

50% of patients at UCLH have pain at any stage 27% have severe pain Pain and pain control is poorly

understood Pain is a self reported dimension

Initial findings

5

Patients use device with high frequency

during periods of greatest pain

Educational material tends to be

accessed during the night shift (20.00-

08.00h)

Patients expect very sophisticated

content and are highly critical (cost

implications)

Comments from patients

Reassuring to read. Exercise helped. Couldn't concentrate on anything else had a muzzy head.

it helps you to understand the different levels of pain. It would be better if you could comment on activities being done at the time of pain

Useful to zone out when pain coming in waves. Found meditation parts useful at times of stress…calming. Nice to hear a calm voice and focus on that.

not much effect as it was not connected to the hospital system

I think the device is a really good idea. Although it could do with a bigger and better range of games/music/movies etc. The choice was VERY limited and people would probably like a bigger amount of choice.

Experiences & Messages

No easy pathway for this kind of innovation within NHS currently

Outsourced IT providers are impenetrable to innovation and kill ideas

Had to forge new collaborations to realise the project

Huge advantage to clinicians driving such product development- ability to fine tune it live
