Another Confirmation of the Wearable Pain Relief Revolution

mHealth Project to Use Digital Health Data to Identify, Treat Pain
2/16/2018

Evidation Health is contributing up to $1 million for the Digital Signals in Chronic Pain (the DISCover Project), which will recruit as many as 10,000 participants, including 6,000 with chronic pain.

“The widespread use of wearables, sensors and digital health tools gives us an opportunity to quantify the real lives of patients who suffer from chronic pain - now a critically important public health condition in the US,” Deborah Kilpatrick, PhD, Evidation Health’s CEO, said in a press release. “We are running this large-scale pain study to gain powerful insights on how behavioral factors are associated with health outcomes of chronic pain patients.”

"Healthcare providers and researchers have long been using mHealth tools and platforms to study pain and seek new ways to manage it. Just last month, the UK’s National Health System gave its approval for physicians to prescribe – and be reimbursed for – the ActiPatch, a wearable device that manages peripheral nerve activity to help users suffering from chronic pain."
