We are delighted that users of PainChek have been interviewed by the BBC as part of a segment exploring the increasing role of artificial intelligence in the UK’s social care sector.
In a BBC News article, Aislinn Mullee, Deputy Manager at Elmbrook Court, part of Oakland Care Homes, shares how PainChek is making a “huge difference” in their care team’s ability to assess and manage pain. She highlights PainChek’s impact on collaboration with GPs to tailor treatments and provide reassurance to families, particularly during end-of-life care.
On 6 May 2025, the story was also featured on BBC South Today’s Evening News programme, showcasing PainChek in action at Elmbrook Court and illustrating how it is supporting care home staff to deliver more person-centred care.
In addition, BBC Radio Oxford’s Sophie Law interviewed Ravi Gupta, carer at Elmbrook Court, to discuss the use and impact of PainChek in the home and how use of AI is enabling better outcomes for those unable to reliably communicate their pain, such as those living with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
These interviews and user insights highlight the growing recognition of PainChek’s transformative impact on pain assessment and management, particularly amongst ageing populations. Carers demonstrate how AI can be used safely and effectively to enhance their ability to deliver gold-standard care, whilst also helping to address critical challenges in the social care sector, such as time pressures and staff shortages.
