Today’s devastating opioid epidemic may stem, in part, from the medical industry’s lack of comprehensive tools to analyze, diagnose and effectively treat chronic pain, but now, a New Mexico startup may have a breakthrough solution to begin tackling the problem.

PainScan System Inc.’s patent-pending technology could allow doctors and clinical technicians to rapidly create detailed 3D maps of an individual’s pain points on an iPad or computer screen using a simple touch exam that measures pain intensity on any part of a patient’s body. That could offer physicians a holistic view of a person’s symptoms to better diagnose the causes and develop more-effective treatments.
A New Mexico health care company has received a competitive quarter-million-dollar grant to develop its product, thanks to support from the New Mexico Federal and State Technology partnership program at New Mexico State Universitys Arrowhead Center. PainScan is a highly technical medical device that uses computer vision and a sophisticated clinician glove to fully map a patients pain intensity.

Just Health Care LLC has been awarded a National Science Foundation Small Business Innovation Research grant for $256,000 to conduct research and development work on a new biomedical device that measures and maps pain intensity onto a 3-D image of the human body.
