Study Description

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Intelligent Pain Management System (IPMS) could make recording and interfering pain timely among cancer patients with pain. The system's usability, feasibility, compliance, and satisfaction will also be assessed.

Detailed Description: Research indicate that over one-third of cancer patients experienced cancer pain, which is known as a major reason leading to lower quality of life of the patients.In this present study, the investigators aim to design, develop, and test the feasibility of a low cost, conveniently implemented mobile application to facilitate real-time pain recording and timely intervention among Chinese cancer patients with pain. This system evaluate real-time pain and Karnofsky Performance Status（KPS）scores for quality of life, and to generate an action plan to visit the physician or to adjust pain medication dosage when the pain threshold is reached. The investigators study is to test this system's effectiveness.
