The real-time digital care system has joined forces with the pain assessment technology specialist PainChek®, to integrate its systems and provide aged care facilities with a more effective tool for managing resident discomfort.
PainChek® uses AI and facial recognition technology to identify and quantify the presence of pain through involuntary micro-facial expressions, particularly in residents that are non-verbal, which is then fed into Person Centred Software’s Mobile Care Monitoring system, providing facilities with a more complete picture of a resident’s needs in one location.
St Andrews Village in Canberra has been using the integrated platform for 12 months for far, and CEO Deborah Booth says it’s proving to be a useful tool.
“The integration with Person Centred Software has made the documentation process so much easier. Now, we can pull up a report of resident behaviours,” she says.
“So, if we have someone with triggered behaviour we can go back and look at when the last PainChek assessment was done, check for patterns and act much more quickly to help ease the resident of any discomfort, documenting the outcome through Person Centred Software.”
