Unveiling Physiological and Psychosocial Pain Components with an Artificial Intelligence Based Telemonitoring Tool

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Nociceptive Pain, Neuropathic Pain

In brief

The pAIn-sense study aims to revolutionize the monitoring and treatment of chronic pain, a major health concern that significantly impacts psychological well-being and quality of life. Traditional approaches to pain management face challenges like unspecific drug use and high healthcare costs, and they often leave patients dissatisfied. PAIn-sense aims at comprehensively understanding pain from both physical and emotional perspectives. To accomplish this, the study will employ advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques and wearable sensing technology. The study aims to monitor patients continuously, during both day and night activities, to gather a multidimensional set of data on their physiological, psychosocial, and pain conditions.
