Zing PainApp

For patients undergoing plastic surgery procedure for nerve related pain.

Zing PainApp is a mobile application that allows patients undergoing plastic surgery procedure for nerve related pain, track and monitor their pain symptoms, mood, medication usage, sleep and mobility. The app allows participants to join the app anonymously. The dynamic app interface includes weekly surveys, graphs to track responses, a medication log, and optional active tasks allowing users to monitor and self-manage their post-operative health. The app also allows participants to connect to Fitbit to track their steps and sleep.

This app is part of a study being conducted by researchers at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Researchers here and in other academic hospital systems across the country will use the data from the app to study and improve plastic surgery procedures, such as targeted muscle re-innervation, that are used to treat nerve pain.

Participants have the option to opt out of the app at any time.
