SIMS: AI-driven pain diagnostic for measuring pain in babies

Image from Licence Details: SIMS: AI-driven pain diagnostic for measuring pain in babies

Applications: Routine clinical monitoring of pain in maternity, neonatal, paediatric settings; clinical trials, drug development.

A user-friendly clinical software package that combines recorded EEG and ECG signals to quantify infants’ sensitivity to pain.

Features Benefits
  • SIMS dataset is predicated on nine years of physiological data, collected in-house from >600 children.
  • Such a dataset is rare and valuable.
  • The data has enabled SIMS to develop their product.
  • The API quantifies the magnitude of response to pain-related brain activity and heart rate changes, giving a 0-10 score.
  • The score is presented on the Graphical User Interface (GUI).
  • An objective, easily interpretable measure of pain is calculated.
  • API can be compared against expected levels of pain for a given procedure.
  • EEG/ECG data is also available to clinicians.
  • The API adapts the measure to account for inter-patient variability observed between recordings, as well as potential biases caused by the infant’s age.
  • Accurate measures of pain can be calculated for each individual infant.
  • The API is robust and comparable across multiple studies and clinical settings.
  • The SIMS software provides percentage assessments of signal and response quality.
  • The GUI includes help prompts and informative error messaging for the end-user.
