This app is for sufferers who cannot communicate, let alone get themselves to a doctors office. The whole problem is pain.

If there is no way to assess or monitor pain objectively, then there is no way to change or improve the standard of care and consequently reduce healthcare costs. Pain for dementia patients is a daily battle occurring at regular intervals.

The real value proposition is the app monitors and tracks the level of pain over a period of time, this for dementia patients is invaluable the carer could see if medication is actually effective over time, if change of care practice is useful etc and actually reduce the number one problem in aged care facilities of over prescription of costly mental medication.

Massive cost savings and benefits, not to mention piece of mind for families.
