How it works

Measure pain. See what it produces.

Position, Area, Intensity, Nature, and Time — captured on an anatomy-classified 3D body surface, measured in real square millimeters, and exported as structured records. Explore the model below.

The framework

PAINT — five axes of a symptom record.

  1. Position

    Anchors each symptom to where it sits on the body — on a 3D model you can pose to match the patient, with that posture recorded alongside the chart.

  2. Area

    Measures how much body surface is involved, in real cm² and percent BSA on the reviewed 3D mannequin.

  3. Intensity

    Keeps symptom strength attached to the painted surface so the PAIN-Index is not flattened into presence versus absence.

  4. Nature

    Preserves the qualitative character of the symptom so burning, aching, pressure, or numbness remain distinguishable.

  5. Time/ Trajectory

    Tracks how a symptom changes across snapshots — whether it persists, spreads, resolves, or recurs — so reassessment asks where it is better, worse, new, or resolved.

The T in PAINT

Time is the letter. Trajectory is the idea.

Each visit is a PAINprint Snapshot. Stack snapshots and you get a PAINprint Timeline — the symptom story over time. Trajectory is how that story moves: spreading, shrinking, intensifying, resolving, or recurring. That is the difference between asking "where does it hurt?" and "where did it hurt, how much, what kind, and what changed?"

PAINT

The measurement framework: Position, Area, Intensity, Nature, Time.

Single finding

PAINprint

The painted spatial record for one finding at one moment.

Timepoint / visit

PAINprint Snapshot

A time-stamped chart state composed of one or more PAINprints.

Longitudinal New

PAINprint Timeline

An ordered sequence of Snapshots — the symptom story over time.

Impact summary

PAIN-Index

A normalized impact score derived from measured area × reported intensity.

(weighted area / total BSA) × 100

Derived objects

What each capture produces.

Beyond the exports, every capture yields a derived metric panel, a snapshot, and — stacked over time — a PAINprint Timeline. Examples are simulated and de-identified.
