PainChek pain monitoring app looks to hospital and home care markets

Australian pain monitoring app PainChek has partnered with digital enterprise solutions provider InterSystems in order to better integrate with electronic medical records (EMRs). The move will see PainChek, which is already used in more than 1,300 residential aged care homes in Australia, NZ, the UK and Singapore, connect to InterSystems’ IRIS for Health data services technology in order to break into the hospital market.

“We know from experience in aged care how important it is to connect to EMR systems. InterSystems IRIS for Health makes that easy and scales up our capacity to connect into hospitals and, in the future, other sectors like home care that would also benefit from easy to use and reliable pain assessment,” said Philip Daffas, CEO, PainChek.

PainChek earlier this year announced a partnership with BESTMED to widen its reach in aged care.
