Did you know that your body reveals pain even when words can’t? 🫁 | 💡 Changes in breathing and oxygen levels are powerful, objective markers of pain, particularly for patients who are unable to self-report. 🌬 | 🫀 At PainSense, we’re exploring how non-invasive tools like these can transform pain assessment into something more accurate, fair, and inclusive. ➕ | 🚀 From clinics to bedside devices, the future of pain care will rely on markers that go beyond words. 🔗 Read more detailed posts at www.painsense-ca.com/blog #PainSense #PainAssessment #HealthcareInnovation #MedTech 

Pain is one of the most complex and subjective experiences in medicine. Traditional assessment methods often rely on patient self-reporting, which, while essential, can be limited and inconsistent. 💡This is where Artificial Intelligence steps in. By processing massive datasets, AI can: 1️⃣Detect subtle pain patterns invisible to the human eye. 2️⃣Optimize imaging (MRI, CT) for pain-related conditions. 3️⃣Support early diagnosis by analyzing biological markers. 4️⃣Provide real-time insights to guide more personalized treatment. 👉 Importantly, AI doesn’t replace doctors; It supports them. By working alongside clinicians, AI enables clearer insights, faster decisions, and better outcomes for patients. At PainSense, we believe AI is key to unlocking accurate pain assessment and driving innovation in patient care. #AI #PainManagement #HealthcareInnovation #DigitalHealth #PainSense #HealthTech

🔍 Pain is not experienced equally! Clinical research shows clear biological and social differences in how men and women experience pain, differences that can have a direct impact on diagnosis and treatment. 👩 Women; Report pain more frequently and at higher intensity Hormonal factors (e.g., estrogen) influence pain thresholds and sensitivity. 👨 Men; May show higher tolerance in certain experimental pain stimuli Often underreport pain due to cultural expectations of “toughness” ➕ These differences are not just biological; They’re also shaped by social norms and stereotypes. Women’s pain is sometimes dismissed as “emotional,” while men may avoid reporting pain altogether. Both biases can delay proper care. 💡What this means for healthcare: Recognizing women’s pain reports more accurately Encouraging men to communicate their pain openly Designing personalized, gender-aware therapies At Painsense, we believe that understanding these differences is essential for creating fairer, more effective pain management solutions. 📚 Source: Sex Differences in Pain: A Brief Review of Clinical and Experimental Findings – PubMed/PMC

Pain is invisible, yet it’s one of the most critical clinical symptoms. 🔎 - To turn subjective experiences into measurable data, healthcare relies on validated pain scales. - From quick ratings like NRS (0–10) to comprehensive tools like the Brief Pain Inventory, each scale serves a purpose: ✔️ NRS & VAS → reliable for most clinical settings ✔️ VRS → simple when clarity matters ✔️ BPI → best for understanding pain’s full impact Each scale has strengths and limits—choosing the right one depends on the patient and context. - At Painsense, we’re building tools that go beyond numbers, making pain assessment more accurate, objective, and human-centered. _ 📚 Source: Objective Pain Assessment: A Key for the Management of Chronic Pain – NCBI/PMC _ #PainSense #painsense_ca #painassessment #painmanagement #healthcareinnovation #chronicpain #digitalhealth #medicalinnovation

📣 A new spinal implant is turning heads, And it's rewiring the way we think about pain relief! Developed by researchers at the University of Southern California and UCLA, this flexible, battery-free, ultrasound-powered device uses EEG readings and an #AI model (ResNet-18) to detect pain levels and adapt stimulation in real-time. That’s right! no batteries, no wires, and no waiting. Just smart, personalized care. In rodent studies, the results were remarkable, both in pain response and behavior. This isn’t science fiction. It’s a step toward drug-free, real-time pain relief. 🔗 Read more from: • Nature Electronics (DOI: 10.1038/s41928-025-01374-6) • USC Viterbi School News: https://lnkd.in/gRR7ueP9 • Open Access Government: https://lnkd.in/dvtjdfZE 👨🔬 Research teams: Dr. Yingxin Zhou and colleagues at Zhou Lab, USC #PainSense #ChronicPain #Neurotechnology #HealthcareInnovation #BiomedicalEngineering #DigitalHealth #SpinalCordStimulation #AIinHealthcare #MedTech #HealthTech #PainRelief

Pain is more than a sensation, It’s a sophisticated biological response. From the moment nociceptors detect harm to the brain’s emotional processing, the body launches a precise, multi-step defense. In this carousel, we unpack the full cascade of physiological reactions that follow a painful event, and why understanding them matters. At Painsense, we’re building tools that decode this complexity to bring objectivity into pain measurement. #HealthcareInnovation #PainManagement #ChronicPain #PatientCare #PainScience #HealthTech #PainSense Sources: NCBI – Physiology of Nociception Mayo Clinic – Nervous System & Pain MedlinePlus – The Science of Pain Cleveland Clinic – Understanding Chronic Pain
