An AI app to measure pain is here

MIT Technology Review 

But can technology describe something so personal? But this week I've also been wondering how science and technology can help answer that question--especially when it comes to pain. In the latest issue of magazine, Deena Mousa describes how an AI-powered smartphone app is being used to assess how much pain a person is in . The app, and other tools like it, could help doctors and caregivers. They could be especially useful in the care of people who aren't able to tell others how they are feeling. But they are far from perfect.
