When someone living with dementia can no longer reliably communicate that they’re in pain, caregivers face an incredibly difficult question: How do you know what they’re feeling?

In this episode of Raising Tech, Matt Reiners talks with David Allsop, General Manager for PainChek across North America, about the challenge of identifying and assessing pain in people living with dementia who have lost the ability to reliably self-report.

David explains why traditional pain assessment can be highly subjective and how PainChek combines artificial intelligence with human clinical observation to create a more consistent approach. The technology analyzes facial indicators associated with pain and combines that information with a guided observational assessment completed by a clinician.
