PAIN (Pain AI iNtervention) Platform for Patients at Home

Development of the PAIN (Pain AI iNtervention) Platform for Patients at Home

The purpose of this research is to identify physiological markers to determine pain intensity and build an Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled system to objectively measure pain intensity. Researchers hope to personalize pain medication regimens to help prevent medication over-use.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients undergoing low-risk outpatient plastic surgery procedures with expected pain intensities ranging from mild to severe.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with treated or untreated cardiopulmonary syndromes.
• Patients with treated or untreated ophthalmologic pathologies.
• Patients with skin pathologies that prevent us from using the TENS device.
• Patients with pathologies or conditions preventing them from appropriately using their voice.
• Patients with barriers to effective communication.
• Patients with poor digital literacy.
• Patients incapable of taking oral medication.
• Patients who are currently taking medical therapy for chronic pain.
• Patients with a previous diagnosis of severe anxiety disorders.
• Patients who are immobile at baseline.
