Record pain
Where does it hurt, how much and since when? Three questions that get easier when a child can point instead of searching for words. The visual support for recording pain is right below.
♀Recording pain on chart

♀Documenting health on tablet

About this visual support
Pain is hard to put into words, especially for younger children. Intensity feels different in the body than it sounds in a sentence, and time slips away when something hurts right now: did it start this morning or yesterday evening? A visual scale and a body map give the child a concrete way to answer.
Visual support for pain lets you walk through three things in order: a figure where the child points to the spot, a scale from mild to strong, and time pictures for this morning, yesterday or longer ago. It mirrors the structure a nurse or doctor uses, so you arrive at the appointment with a clearer picture of what is going on.
A practical tip: keep filled-in cards in a small log when pain returns. Patterns show up that would otherwise vanish between visits. In Routined you can gather the cards alongside a daily check-in. The app comes with a 14-day free trial, then a paid subscription.
