Abstract

This case study reviews the design and development of a mobile-based intelligent pain management system (IPMS) app in cancer patient care and pain management in a rural hospital in China. Healthcare professionals were involved throughout the design to the evaluation stages. The IPMS facilitated real-time pain recording and timely intervention among cancer patients with pain. To evaluate the effectiveness of the IPMS, a clinical trial was administrated under the supervision of healthcare professionals. The result confirmed that the IPMS was a feasible, effective, and low-cost pain management tool for cancer patients and healthcare professionals. This case provides preliminary data to support the potentials of using IPMS in cancer pain management and emphasized that the involvement of healthcare professional throughout the system development lifecycle is crucial to the successful implementation of the IPMS.
