Abstract

: Where self-report is unfeasible or observations are difficult, physiological estimates of pain are needed. : Pain-data from 30 healthy adults were gathered to create a database of physiological pain responses. A model was then developed, to analyze pain-data and visualize the AI-estimated level of pain on a mobile app. : The initial low precision and F1-score of the pain classification algorithm were resolved by interpolating a percentage of similar data. : This system presents a novel approach to assess pain in noncommunicative people with the use of a sensor sock, AI predictor and mobile app. Performance analysis and the limitations of the AI algorithm are discussed.
