Millions of Americans suffer from chronic pain, limiting their productivity and reducing their quality of life. Dr. Alexandre DaSilva and his Colleagues at the University of Michigan have designed a mobile app that integrates neuroimaging and brain stimulation research to better track, communicate, and understand pain. Developed with support from U-M’s Bold Challenges Initiative and Innovation Partnerships, PainTrek offers patients a nuanced way to report pain and for physicians to track treatment efficacy.
