Published- Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) in the identification of pain

Abstract

Pain is a crucial health concern that needs an accurate diagnosis, deeper understanding, treatment, and follow-up depending on the pain identification process.¹ Although determining the right therapy requires a thorough assessment of pain, the self-reported pain level assessment has several drawbacks.² As the pain is subjective and people’s experiences of pain may vary, it can be difficult sometimes to determine the underlying biopsychosocial components. This can lead to a lack of diagnosis of the exact cause of pain and its etiological factors.³ This editorial outlines the importance of integrating AI into pain identification to enhance the quality parameter of assessment in research and clinical practice.
