❓️ Problem
PAIN is the fifth vital sign, but still:
Subjective and often underestimated
Takes time to evaluate
Not always associated with biopsychosocial
💡 Decision: R-PAT
🧠🤖 R-PAT is an innovative platform for rapid, comprehensive pain assessment using:
Mobile application
or web interface
AI analysis of face, speech, movement and biomarkers
self-filling scales and real-time bioconnection
💼 Advantages R-PAT
Saving the doctor's time (up to 2 minutes/patient)
Standardized and reproducible data
Monitoring progress and response to treatment
Integration with AI to predict pain chronicity
🎯 Target audience
Veterans/patients
with chronic pain
Pain clinics, telemedicine,
military medicine
Rehabilitation, family medicine, palliative care
Modules:
  • Visual module (Face & Pose)*
Recognition of facial expressions, bodily discomfort, posture distortion -
AI facial analytics (Wong-Baker AI, FACS)
  • Biophysiological module
Changes related to pain response:
-HRV (heart rate variability)
-Pupillometry* (pupil)
*prototype
