Quantitative tools for pain diagnosis are lacking, and most existing devices are limited to assessing peripheral sensory inputs. Chronic pain involves changes in pain perception due to both peripheral and central sensitization, and there has been no tool capable of evaluating both.
SenseFEEL is a hybrid pain diagnosis solution developed to overcome these limitations. It uses the QPST100 device to deliver physical stimuli—such as temperature, pressure, and vibration—while simultaneously replicating the same stimuli in a 3D virtual environment through Pain Care VR. This enables comparison and analysis of patient responses to real, virtual, and mixed stimuli, allowing for quantitative assessment of differences in pain perception related to peripheral and central sensitization.
SenseFEEL offers ease of use and a highly immersive experience, and by collecting real-time, multidimensional patient data, it overcomes the limitations of subjective reporting and introduces a new clinical diagnostic paradigm for uncovering the nature and origin of pain.
