Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9401849A1] In a method for measuring or monitoring throughout any predetermined period the percentage value rating of a self-assessed variable in relation to one or more test individuals, for example each individual's feeling of well-being or quality of life rating during the course of medical treatment, each test individual is supplied with a record card (10) that has a black surface (12) overprinted with a number of separate light silver coloured squares (14) composed of opaque material that can be removed selectively by scraping or scratching. At the end of each day, the test individual scratches away at least part of the opaque silver material of a relevant square (14) to expose the darker underlying area to an extent that is considered to be visually representative of how well or unwell that individual has felt on average during that day. The daily results are recorded on the silver coloured recording squares in a predetermined order and testing is continued for a predetermined period, e.g. 28 days. At the end of that time, the card (10) is processed using an image scanning device (25) connected to a computer system that processes the digitised data generated to measure the proportion or percentage amount of each silver recording square that has been removed, the output being provided in a form selectable by the user. The system described may be adapted for measuring or monitoring other intangible variables or characteristics that are quantifiable in terms of a percentage value rating determined by personal assessment of a test individual.
