Roll out of PainChek trial in  aged care facilities

The Australian Government is funding a 12 month national trial of the PainChek app with residential aged care providers.

PainChek is a smartphone based medical device which uses artificial intelligence and facial recognition technology to assess and score pain levels in people who are unable to communicate, including those with dementia. The initiative promotes innovation in aged care, consistency of pain assessments and improved care outcomes.

The trial is now open and residential aged care providers are encouraged to complete an expression of interest to participate or call 1800 098 809 to register your interest.
