Popis: INTRODUCTION: We created and tested a mobile app that facilitates the ecological momentary assessment of pain intensity and pain location and identifies heterogeneous patient pain phenotypes. METHODS: A mobile app was created with patient, clinician and researcher input. A sample of 20 participants with urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome were then asked to complete a 14-day pain assessment using the app. Data were analyzed to assess compliance, usability and the ability for the app to capture variation in pain intensity and pain location. Ecological momentary assessment pain data were then compared to end-of-week pain summary questions to determine construct validity. RESULTS: Mean compliance was 70±8%, higher earlier in the study period (p
