What people are saying about the app
Kind words from our amazing community...
“This app is really well thought out, informative and easy to use. I love all the short videos from various people including professionals giving their insights into chronic pain. I have finished all the available courses and can't wait for more, thank you!”
“Overall, I am so impressed. It’s obvious that a huge amount of time and effort has gone into the app. I think what you’ve accomplished is amazing.”
“I have used Curable for a year, but I can already see that with the gamification and UX PAIND would be more effective to use when I have a flare up!”
“I have found it incredibly interesting and feel a little dismayed when I reach my daily limit, and I’m not saying the limit is a bad thing just that I’m very much enjoying using your app so far. There’s nothing I can suggest improvement wise so far, but I’ll be sure to pass on anything I do think of as I delve deeper into the app.”
“I love it all but especially how the references are included. This is perfect for extra homework!”
“This could be the best app download you make. This app is well researched, science backed and potentially life changing. Easy to digest. Doesn't overwhelm. Knowledge is power!”
“The app is really incredible. You have done a great job. I would have loved to have had this when I was in my worst moments of CRPS.”
“It is clean and easy to navigate, and I like the bespoke course element to it. Very person centred. The content has an authentic feel to it, no doubt owing to your experience.”
“I’ve really loved it. I found it helpful and informative and enabled me to be really self-led with my pain journey. I also like the structure of the bit sized information sections making it much easier to take on board each part in detail.”
“I have been demonstrating it to patients in clinic and signposted colleagues to it! Well done!”
Speaking on behalf of my peers in healthcare, we value the work PAIND is doing. Having an effective and engaging app to be able to signpost patients to is a real game-changer.
