17.01.2022 Since 2017, Barossa Village Aged Care Home have been using PainChek to improve pain assessment and treatment for its residents. One particularly impactful case is a 79-year-old woman who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and mixed dementia two years ago. She was becoming more agitated, aggressive and tired. She also had trouble communicating as English was not her first language. To help improve her quality of life and reduce aggression, staff adjusted her medication and their... behavioural interventions, then used PainChek to monitor pain levels and formulate an ongoing treatment plan. We are pleased to share that over time, her pain level went down from 'mild pain' to 'no pain' on the PainChek scale, and her behaviours have also gradually improved. PainChek helps aged care facilities safely and accurately assess pain in residents, while complying with social distancing requirements.

10.01.2022 Earlier this year, Heathfield Residential Home began using PainChek to identify pain in residents with dementia. Their success story has been featured in Digital Social Care, a UK-based organisation that provides advice and support to the sector on technology and data protection.
