Study Summary

Pain is common amongst people living with dementia. However, as people's dementia worsens their ability to self-report pain diminishes because of limitations in their cognition and communication abilities. As a result pain in people with moderate to severe dementia often goes under-recognised and undertreated. PainChek® is a technology-enabled, observational pain assessment tool, in the form of a mobile application designed specifically to assist healthcare professionals and professional caregivers assess pain in people with moderate severe dementia. In this study the investigators aim to assess the performance of PainChek® in assessing pain in nursing home residents with moderate to severe dementia compared to the Abbey Pain Scale.
