The PainChek system assists healthcare workers and carers in assessing the levels of pain in non-communicative patients with cognitive impairment, especially those with dementia.
PainChek uses facial recognition technology to detect facial cues indicative of the presence of pain and then combines these with non-facial pain cues to assess a pain severity score.
This guide documents the use of the PainChek Portal (formally known as the PainChek Web Admin Portal), which is used by users and administrators to manage the PainChek system.
Intended Audience
This document is intended for use by any person using the PainChek Portal.
