A portable, interactive clinical data-logger device signals to a patient under investigation a succession of recording time periods spaced apart by predetermined time intervals. After a recording time period has been signalled, questions such as "What intensity of pain are you feeling <", "What degree of discomfort are you feeling ?" or "How severe is a given symptom ?" are displayed. The patient answers each question by means of a pushbutton-controlled bar graph associated to a pain intensity, discomfort degree and/or symptom severeness representative V.A.S. scale. The V.A.S. data are then stored and available for further processing into an outside computer. |
