MCN Learning, an internationally-recognized leader in healthcare
education, announces the launch of the MCN Learning Pain Scale
application for the Google Android mobile operating system. This
application is MCN Learning's first application for Android mobile
devices. An iPhone and iPad version of the MCN Learning Pain Scale app
was released earlier this year.
The MCN
Learning Pain Scale app was developed to assist individuals working
with children who are in pain. This tool will allow nurses, physicians,
EMTs/first responders, police officers and others to communicate
effectively with children who may be in distress and quickly determine
the location and severity of pain. The Pain Scale tool is particularly
effective with nonverbal children, and children who struggle to
communicate.
"At MCN Learning, we believe affordable technology can enhance
healthcare services for under-served populations," said Frank Morello,
Vice President of Business Development. "With this new mobile
application, professionals in healthcare, education, law enforcement and
other settings can use a game-like interface to quickly and accurately
communicate with children. We've designed the Pain Scale application to
be easy to use by any individual working with children who struggle to
communicate their pain, and intuitive for children who may be in
distress."
