We want to set up a trial in which we measure hourly pain scores. The study population consists of admitted patients, mainly elderly.
Therefore we would like to know if an easy to use application exists for assessing painscores (numerical rating scale) at an interval which is determined by the investigator.
Pain is always subjective and it is difficult to quantify but i think chinease researcher make an app for kids to examine the intensity of pain

Pain is generally subjective but if your doing an observational study there are lots of inventories available- FLACC, McGill, WongBaker...
PAINAD is a good one for patients with dementia
Chronic Pain Tracker and Pain Diary and Catch my Pain are Apps that will track hourly pain
Thank you very much for your answers.
I will specify my question a little further. The above mentioned apps are great programs, but are not intended for research. Therefore they are less suitable for this project.
My idea is to give each admitted patient a tablet during admission. During daytime every hour from start the patient should receive an alert and the NRS should appear on the screen. The patient can select the relevant pain score for that hour, after which the program closes until the next hour point.
I was wondering if such an app exists.
