Pain assessment under strengthened aged care standards

As Strengthened Aged Care Standards take hold, it is no longer enough to deliver care. Providers are expected to measure and evidence it consistently.

Pain is one of the most common and least visible clinical risks in home care. For clients living with dementia who cannot self-report, it is often missed, inconsistently assessed, and difficult to monitor across teams.

This creates risk at every level, impacting client wellbeing, clinical decision-making across teams, and organisational visibility and reporting.

An evidence-based approach to pain assessment in home care

PainChek® is a TGA-approved and FDA-cleared medical device that combines AI and a standardised observational framework to detect and monitor pain in the home.

It supports teams to:

  • Identify pain in individuals with living with dementia
  • Establish consistent, evidence‑based pain management
  • Make informed clinical decisions using real‑time, actionable insights
  • Enhance wellbeing and quality of life at home

By combining AI-enabled facial analysis with a standardised observational framework, PainChek® provides an objective method of pain assessment that can be used by all healthcare professionals.

Leadership teams can triage and escalate care for clients more effectively with the detailed pain data and reporting.

At an organisational level boards can have confidence that pain is being identified, monitored, and managed.

What providers say

We need better solutions to help carers and families, and to make sure clients are well looked after in the home. PainChek® is part of that broader shift to assistive technology and digital integration in the home, helping us link timely pain assessments with pain management and medication decisions, so people are better cared for where they live.
