Quarterly Update
ePAT: The world’s first pain assessment app using artificial intelligence, now regulatory cleared*
Key Milestones achieved during the Quarter:
-
IOS (Apple) Adult App development completed and validated for commercial use
-
Clinical validation studies are accepted for publication in peer reviewed Alzheimer’s Disease journal
-
TGA and CE Mark Clearance received to market the ePAT App as a Class 1 Medical Device in Australia and Europe
-
Agreement finalised with nViso for a perpetual, exclusive, global license to use nViso Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology for pain assessment in healthcare
This past quarter has seen the positive results of our efforts during this year. These key milestones, completed on time, provide the foundation for our future business as a global medical device company specializing in the field of pain assessment. The clinical need for better pain assessment methods is evident, the market potential is significant and we are a world first, leading edge technology with patent clearance.
The new agreement with nViso also secures our long-term future as a fully integrated company where we can control the full “value-chain” from research and development right through to global commercialization – without any restrictions or royalty payments.
This is important for the company and even more important for our global customers who want to work with a company that has both the capability and security for the long term.
We can now move forward with our commercialization plans in Australia for the remainder of this year and Europe in 2018 while also ensuring other key projects such as FDA approval and the Kids App development continue in parallel. We will keep our shareholders updated as we progress along each milestone.
I want to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders for their support during this year. We have achieved a lot in a short period of time with limited resources – that is a reflection of ensuring we deliver on shareholder value. The board and management team will ensure this focus continues through the remainder of this year.
About ePAT:
ePAT’s technology, a mobile application (ePAT App), uses cameras in smartphones and tablets to capture a brief video of the person, which is analysed in real time using facial recognition software to detect the presence of facial micro- expressions that are indicative of the presence of pain.

The ePAT App six domains of pain assessment that calculates pain severity score
This data is then combined with other indicators of pain, such as vocalisations, behaviours and movements captured through the ePAT App to calculate a pain severity score. Due to its ease of use and its reproducibility, the ePAT App will be able to be used in the first instance to detect and measure a person’s pain, and then further measurements can be used to monitor the effectiveness of pain management provided to the person.
The ePAT App will be rolled out globally in two phases: first, the ePAT App for Dementia for people who are unable to communicate effectively with their carers, and the second, the ePAT App for Children who have not yet learnt to speak.
*The ePAT App is a Class 1 Medical Device that has TGA (Australia) and CE mark (Europe Economic Area) regulatory clearance.
