Pain Care

Ringful Health creates a pain journal application to better manage the issue of poor pain management. Many patients receive poor pain management and most pain related issues do not have a one-size-fits all answer.

To personalize pain management, Pain Care takes multiple factors into consideration including: scale of pain, duration, triggers, medicine and pain types. To help users better understand the correlation of these factors and what solutions/therapies could work best, the application creates a health report that can be shared with physicians.

Community Clash

Community Clash Online Card Game

Community Clash is an online card game that engages you in a discovery of your community’s health and well-being status, and lets you see how it compares to other communities in a head-to-head clash. Play endless hands, exploring different metrics and locations each time, and share key victories with your friends.

To begin playing Community Clash, a player selects two locations to compare in a head-to-head contest. Four random cards are dealt per location, each with a data point representing community indicators like obesity, smoking, diabetes and homicides, plus a fifth card with the WBI score, for each location.

A player can exchange up to two of the assigned cards before play begins by reviewing a list of metrics and deciding which ones might improve their odds of winning in the clash. They also have the option of generating their own well-being score to use instead of their location’s WBI score by completing a scientifically validated assessment.

Users can personalize the experience by getting their own well-being score based off of the six dimensions of the Well-Being Index. Users can then use their well-being score in future clashes.

Community Clash also includes a social media component via Twitter. After playing a hand, users can see a visualization of key words related to community health that have been tweeted over the past 30 days . The visualization also includes real-time tweet of the same nature.

Pillbox

Pillbox was developed to aid in the identification of unknown solid dosage pharmaceuticals. The system combines high-resolution images of tablets and capsules with appearance information (imprint, shape, color, etc.) to enable users to visually search for and identify an unknown solid dosage pharmaceutical.

The system enables users to identify solid dosage forms based on physical criteria: imprint (characters or number printed on a medication), shape, color, size, and scoring. Users are shown thumbnail images of possible matches. These images are continually updated as the user enters additional information.

Once a solid dosage form has been identified, additional information is provided, including brand/generic name, ingredients, and the National Drug File identification number. Links are provided to NLM drug information resources, such as drug labels (DailyMed) and the Drug Information Portal, which searches all NLM drug information resources.

Gallup-Healthways Well Being Index

The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index is the first-ever daily assessment of U.S. residents’ health and well-being. By interviewing at least 1,000 U.S. adults every day, the Well-Being Index provides real-time measurement and insights needed to improve health, increase productivity, and lower healthcare costs. These datasets represent aggregate survey data that are non-identifiable to the respondents and provide useful measures of consumer views over time. Developers, designers and experts can build applications that integrate these measures with other elements of consumer health to gain better insight into health policy implications, new products and services, and many other applications.
