Our purpose is to give a voice to people who cannot verbalise their pain, such as those living with dementia or Alzheimer's. PainChek is the world`s first intelligent pain assessment tool. Using AI and facial analysis technology, PainChek provides carers across multiple clinical areas with three important new clinical benefits: 1. The ability to identify the presence of pain, when pain isn`t obvious 2. To quantify the severity level of pain, when pain is obvious, and; 3. To monitor the impact of treatment to optimise overall care.
Current paper-based pain assessment tools are often underused and subjective. PainChek supports care providers with a binary checklist based assessment process, which greatly reduces subjectivity and can be completed in around 2 minutes. Saving clinical time for clinical people.
Pain is common: Up to 80% of people in aged care experience chronic pain. But pain often goes undetected and untreated. Pain is difficult to assess. Tools to assess pain are often not used or use subjective rating scales. Accurately identifying pain can:
- Improve quality of life
- Reduce rates and severity of behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia
- Reduce rates of incorrectly prescribed antipsychotics
- Improve staff retention
