Abstract
There is no sensation more universal and misunderstood than pain. While pain presents itself in nearly every eukaryotic organism, it remains one of the most elusive disease states to express, let alone treat. Here, we introduce Pain by Numbers, a haptic, immersive storytelling interface that facilitates user recognition and communication of low-to-medium-intensity pain, in order to improve pain literacy for patients, physicians, and society-at-large.
