Abstract

BACKGROUND: Recent studies on machine learning have shown the potential to provide new methods with which to assess pain through the measurement of signals associated with physiologic responses to pain detected by wearables. We conducted a prospective pilot study to evaluate the real-world feasibility of using an AI-enabled wearable system for pain assessment with elderly patients with dementia and impaired communication.
