PainChek's universal pain assessment solution offers a voice to those who can't reliably self-report their pain, combining AI tech with a numerical rating scale.

PainChek® is the world’s first regulatory cleared medical device for the assessment of pain, enabling best-practice pain management for people living with pain in any environment, including those who cannot reliably self-report their pain, those who can, and those who fluctuate between the two.

PainChek® has enabled best-practice management in 1,800+ aged care facilities, with more than 8,800,000 digital pain assessments conducted to date, and is trusted by thousands of nurses, carers and clinicians.

How PainChek® Works

During a PainChek® assessment, a camera-enabled smartphone or tablet is used to perform a real-time, AI driven analysis of the person’s face, recording micro expressions proven to be indicative of pain. The assessor’s clinical observations on pain related behaviours such as movement and voice are then recorded through an intelligently automated framework, standardising the observation format. This data is used to generate an overall pain rating – the key clinical output of the PainChek® assessment.

All pain assessment data is stored securely and centrally via the cloud, and documented in PainChek®’s detailed reporting suite, PainChek® Analytics. This allows the caregiver to monitor the effect of medication and other non-pharmacological treatments over time.
