How PainChek® works
Available on smartphones and tablets, PainChek® uses evidence-based AI technology to automatically detect facial micro-expressions that indicate pain, along with digital checklists to record carer observations of other pain-related features.
All assessment data (but no facial images) is securely stored in PainChek®’s cloud portal, enabling continuous tracking of pain trends and treatment effectiveness.
PainChek® qualifies as an RTM-eligible medical deviceFor the first time, US healthcare providers can now claim reimbursement for pain monitoring through CMS, using PainChek®. This creates a new pathway to monitor and manage musculoskeletal pain in people with moderate to severe dementia who cannot reliably self-report their pain.
