SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAPPING SYMPTOM LOCATION AND INTENSITY
First Claim
1. A computerized method of mapping bodily symptoms, the method comprising:
- displaying at least one body representation on a display, wherein the body representation represents at least a portion of the body of the user;
receiving at least one user input indicating user-selected locations on the body representation, the user input being generated by continuously activating a user input device for a period of time while moving an indicator across the user-selected locations on the body representation corresponding to locations of symptoms experienced by the user;
displaying symptom representations at the user-selected locations on the body representation in response to the user input, wherein the symptom representations are displayed as the indicator moves across the user-selected locations to delineate a user-defined symptom region at least partially filled in with the symptom representations on the body representation, wherein the symptom representations represent locations and intensities of the symptoms; and
recording a symptom map formed by at least one user-defined symptom region to evaluate the symptoms experienced by the user.

Abstract
A symptom mapping system and method may be used to map the simultaneous location and intensity of symptoms (e.g., pain) experienced by a user (e.g., a patient). The symptom mapping system and method is capable of displaying one or more body representations with symptom representations representing both the location and intensity of the symptoms. The symptom mapping system and method allows the user to delineate one or more user-defined symptom regions on the body representation with the symptom representations to form a symptom map. The symptom mapping system and method may also allow the user to vary the intensity represented by the symptom representations as the user delineates the user-defined symptom region(s).

11. A computerized method of mapping bodily symptoms, the method comprising:
-
displaying at least one three-dimensional body representation on a display, wherein the body representation represents at least a portion of the body of the user;
receiving a user input indicating a direction of movement of the three-dimensional body representation;
displaying at least one different perspective of the three-dimensional representation in response to the user input and corresponding to the associated direction of movement;
receiving at least one user input indicating user-selected locations on the body representation, the user input being generated by continuously activating a user input device for a period of time while moving an indicator across the user-selected locations on the body representation corresponding to locations of symptoms experienced by the user; and
displaying symptom representations at the user-selected locations on the body representation in response to the user input, wherein the symptom representations are displayed as the indicator moves across the user-selected locations to delineate a user-defined symptom region at least partially filled in with the symptom representations on the body representation, wherein the symptom representations represent locations and intensities of the symptoms, and wherein at least one user-defined symptom region forms a symptom map used to evaluate the symptoms experienced by the user. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A machine-readable medium whose contents cause a computer system to perform a method of mapping bodily symptoms, said method comprising:
-
displaying at least one body representation on a display, wherein the body representation represents at least a portion of the body of the user;
receiving at least one user input indicating a user-selected location on the body representation, the user input being generated by continuously activating a user input device for a period of time while moving an indicator across user-selected locations on the body representation corresponding to locations of symptoms experienced by the user;
displaying symptom representations at the user-selected locations on the body representation in response to the user input, wherein the symptom representations are displayed as the indicator moves across the user-selected locations to delineate a user-defined symptom region at least partially filled in with the symptom representations on the body representation, wherein the symptom representations represent locations and intensities of the symptoms; and
recording at least one user-defined symptom region to form a symptom map to evaluate the symptoms experienced by the user. - View Dependent Claims (20)
