How it works
How the PainChek® pain assessment tool works
PainChek® Universal combines the PainChek® App with the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) to enable best-practice pain assessment in all people, everywhere.

- Available for download from the App Store or Google Play.
- Complete digital pain assessments in under 3 minutes.
- Seamless online onboarding, training and implementation.
Who it's for
PainChek® Universal enables best-practice pain management for all people, everywhere. This includes those who cannot verbalise their pain, those who can self-report, and those who fluctuate between the two.
The PainChek® App is clinically proven to improve pain assessment and treatment for people with moderate to severe dementia in aged care. Our cloud-based digital tool is available to professional carers in residential aged care facilities or home care settings. PainChek® Universal also includes access to the Numerical Rating Scale, one of the top recommended rating scales for those who can self-report their pain.

Improved pain management with PainChek® Analytics
PainChek® Universal includes access to PainChek® Analytics, a tailored dashboard and patient portal that empowers clinicians to deliver improved resident outcomes.
PainChek® Analytics houses valuable patient data in the form of historical pain assessment results. These insights can be used to guide decision-making, inform care planning, and ensure residents receive consistent, high-quality care.

This means that all PainChek® pain assessment data is fed seamlessly into the care management platform. There’s no manual handling and no duplication of effort.
Case studies
PainChek® is currently used in over 1,600 aged care facilities around the world. To date, more than 127,000 people have benefitted from better pain assessment and management as a result of improved care outcomes in the form of decreased acute pain and improved quality of life.
Barossa Village
Barossa Village began using PainChek® in 2017. The facility has reported reduced resident pain levels through better detection and more accurate treatment, as well as an increase in pain assessments conducted on cognitively impaired residents.
Allambie Heights Village
Using PainChek®, Allambie Heights Village was able to demonstrate to GPs that underlying acute pain was the cause of behavioural challenges in residents. In turn, this resulted in the reduction of psychotropic medications.
Heathfield Residential Home
Since introducing PainChek®, Heathfield Ladies Residential Home has seen an improvement in the detection of individual pain experiences. Carers have also been able to identify and monitor pain more accurately, as well as improve patient engagement.
