Integration with PainChek®

What is PainChek®?

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. 

The PainChek® app combines PainChek®’s AI pain assessment tool, which intelligently automates the multidimensional pain assessment process, with the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). This hybrid functionality allows accurate, consistent pain assessment at the point of care, whether a resident or patient can or cannot self-report their pain.

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 nonpharmacological treatments over time. 

Using PainChek®, care providers can:

• ensure greater consistency and continuity in pain management
• streamline the pain assessment process for time-poor carers, with access to the PainChek® tool, the NRS, pain trends, and charting in one solution
• simplify record-keeping and documentation to demonstrate compliance and support funding claims, with all historical pain assessment data in one place.

PainChek® is currently being used in over 1,500 aged care facilities, with more than one million digital pain assessments conducted to date, and is trusted by thousands of nurses, carers, and clinicians.
