PainQx provides objective, quantitative pain assessments to help clinicians measure and manage patient pain. The platform analyzes electroencephalographic (EEG) signals with proprietary AI/ML algorithms to produce a scaled pain biomarker correlated to a patient’s pain state and neurological side effects. PainQx operates as an AI-powered medical device and cloud-based platform offered via subscription or pay-per-use to healthcare customers. Its primary use cases include clinical assessment in trials, emergency and pain clinics, and evaluating patients who cannot reliably self-report pain.
