Paindrainer Care system: Self management digital tool for chronic pain
Study summary
Chronic pain impacts individuals, their families, and society significantly, yet specialist care resources are limited, with most patients managed in primary care. There is a need for tools that support self-management and improve resource allocation. This feasibility study evaluates the implementation of Paindrainer®, a CE-marked Class I digital tool, in primary care. Paindrainer® combines patient self-monitoring via an app with a healthcare provider portal (CARE) for remote monitoring. Using advanced neural networks, it offers personalized feedback to help patients plan and monitor daily activities and their impact on pain. The study aims to assess whether integrating this tool can enhance chronic pain management and patient quality of life.
