Verdolor

2018
Edinburgh

A smartphone app designed to solve the problem of how different people visualise pain in different ways.

If different people communicate or understand in different ways, there must be alternatives to suit. Rather than forcing people to describe symptoms verbally, Verdolor asks users to associate their pain with imagery, colours and sounds. It then builds up a database that can then be accessed by a doctor. 

The name Verdolor combines the Spanish for ‘see’ and the Spanish for ‘pain’ to communicate the concept of an app that helps you visualise pain.
