The Universal Pain Assessment Solution – enabling better pain management for all people, everywhere

Pain assessment is difficult, particularly in people who cannot reliably verbalise their pain. This can lead to misdiagnosis and under-treatment of pain. For these people, historically used pain assessment tools have been subjective, manual processes, and subsequently are often under-used by nurses and carers.

The PainChek® Universal Pain Assessment Solution has transformed the way in which pain is assessed and managed. It has transformed pain assessment in to a single, digital point of care solution.

PainChek® is now the established new standard in pain assessment in Residential Aged Care, and is rapidly entering the Community and Disability Care sectors. With over 300,000 pain assessments completed to date it is enabling best practice pain management for all people, everywhere.
