Pain Journal
Your patients forget.
Pain Journal remembers.
A free pain diary you can recommend in one sentence. Your patients log in 10 seconds between visits and arrive with a clear PDF history instead of "it's been bad lately."
You already know this gap
Between appointments, patients lose the detail. By the time they sit down with you, weeks of pain have collapsed into a vague impression shaped by how they feel that morning. Recall bias is well documented, and reconstructing a history live burns consult minutes you do not have.
Pain Journal closes that gap on the patient's side, for free, without adding anything to your workflow.
What the patient brings you
A clean, structured PDF the patient generates themselves and can email or hand to you. It summarises:
- Pain locations on a 39-zone body map (front and back), with how often each zone was reported.
- Severity over time per entry, so trends and flare clusters are visible at a glance.
- Pain type and triggers the patient logged (activity, sleep, weather, stress and their own custom notes).
- Sleep impact alongside pain, for the patients where that link matters.
- Medication context: what they take, and a descriptive with-versus-without view for regular medications.
- A chosen date range, so the report can match the period since their last visit.
Why it is safe to recommend
Free for patients
The doctor report is free. No credit system, no per-report charge, no paywall on the basics. Patients are never up-sold to get a usable history.
The practice is not a data processor
No account, no sign-up. Entries stay on the patient's own device. Optional backup goes only to the patient's private cloud folder. You recommend an app; you take on no data-handling obligation.
Not a medical device
Pain Journal does not diagnose, score, or give medical advice. It is structured patient-reported history, nothing more. The clinical interpretation stays entirely with you.
No ads, no data selling
No advertising, no third-party trackers for ads, no selling of patient data. Privacy-first is the product, not a marketing line.
How to recommend it
Pick whatever fits your visit. No portal, no setup, no login on your side.
Say the name
"Try Pain Journal between now and your next visit, then bring me the PDF." It is on the App Store and Google Play under that name.
Show the code
Let the patient scan the QR code below with their phone camera. It opens the right store automatically.
Print the referral cards
Print the cut-out cards below for your reception desk or to hand out. Each card carries the code and a one-line explanation for the patient.
Printable referral cards
Hit print and you get a full A4 sheet of cut-out cards like this one, ready for the waiting room. Nothing else from this page prints.
Tip: in the print dialog, set margins to "Default" and enable "Background graphics" for the cleanest result.
Pain Journal is a patient-facing journaling app, not a medical device, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or manage any condition. It records patient-reported information only.
