Commentary
Philip Daffas PainChek CEO said: “The results of the past quarter reconfirm the Company’s positive progress on all fronts. The PainChek Adult App is commercially validated in Australia, the UK and New Zealand, including now being used in 1 in every 3 Australian aged care beds. While there is still significant aged care market growth in these countries, the Company is now focusing on international expansion and new market sectors, such as hospitals and home care, over the next 12 months. The market opportunities available now with the PainChek Infant will provide a parallel product and revenue stream to complement the Adult App market expansion strategy.”

Activity Summary
-
Residential aged care (RAC) market penetration continues with over 70,000 licences now implemented in across Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and Ireland with a further 59,000 contracted beds to be implemented globally.
-
A total of 32,000 licences under standard PainChek commercial terms increasing actual ARR to $1.6M – a 23% increase over prior quarter.
-
There are 66,000 implemented aged care beds in Australia which have a potential ARR value of $3.2M. Of these, 28,000 are now under standard PCK commercial terms reflecting actual $1.4M ARR.
-
On the assumption that all existing contracted beds have a 67% conversion rate to commercial terms, this implies an ARR of approximately $4.3m by Q4 FY23. This excludes new sales in the period.
-
In Australia two Primary Health Networks (PHN’s) have signed agreements with PainChek. South West Sydney PHN will fund the use of PainChek across 1400 aged care beds in its region, and Murrumbidgee PHN will fund the use of PainChek across 1200 aged care beds in its region. Both agreements are on standard PainChek commercial terms.
-
In addition a 1000 + bed provider has executed a 3-year agreement to use PainChek across its 10 aged care homes in NSW, VIC and QLD.
-
PainChek’s ongoing research and commercial engagements with hospitals and home care partners continue to progress as the foundation for broader launch in these new market sectors.
-
RAC Implementation and User Training has continued to be delivered remotely during COVID pandemic. The PainChek clinical team has trained over 8,500 users to assist customers in their transition to digital platforms, with larger customers adopting a “train the trainer” approach, accelerating roll out.
-
PainChek utility continues to grow, with more than 1.3 million PainChek clinical assessments conducted in aged care as of 30 June 2022, an increase of 181% over the previous year and 31% over the prior quarter, reflecting strong clinical utility and continued implementation progress.
UK market update
-
In the UK PainChek now has over 7,500 contracted beds, up from 3,500 the previous quarter, with close to 4,000 of these implemented. The pipeline is growing in the aged care sector and new opportunities with hospital and home care sectors similar to the Australian market development.
-
PainChek UK now has integration agreements with six care management partners and one medication management partner who can provide a pipeline opportunity of up to 200,000 residential aged care beds.
-
These UK integration partnerships include Care Vision CMS and Nourish Care, who provide care management software to more than 60,000 residential aged care beds that could potentially use the PainChek® assessment solution. PainChek subsequently received an order for an initial rollout of 1,000 beds from one of these partners during the last quarter.
-
Through the Nourish partnership PainChek has also secured its second disability contract with Encompass. Encompass Care is a specialist charity dedicated to providing person centered care and support to adults with a learning disability or enduring mental illness across Dorset. PainChek has been rolled out across all 16 sites which includes its first mental health site in Elsadene.
-
PainChek has been supported by Life Sciences Hub Wales in receiving funding from the Gwent Regional Partnership Board via its Technology Enabled Care Programme. Funding will support a 12-month pilot for up to 1,000 residents in care environments such as residential, nursing, hospital and palliative care homes, across Gwent as the first step in rolling-out PainChek across Wales (see ASX release 26[th] July 2022).

-
In addition to Scottish Government Funding, PainChek has seen further expansion across Scotland with Thistle Healthcare and Elder Homes adopting PainChek across 500 residents collectively.
-
The global leader in providing access to trusted, compliant digital health products, ORCHA Health, has added PainChek to its highly-rated list of trusted health and care applications. The high rating received from ORCHA provides further evidence that PainChek is a robust, accessible, and compliant digital health tool that can help transform the care of people living with dementia by accurately identifying their pain. It also opens the door to accreditation through the NHS Digital Technology Assessment Criteria (DTAC), providing PainChek customers with further assurance that it follows best practice guidelines.
New Zealand
- Summerset Holdings Ltd, New Zealand’s 3[rd] largest aged care provider, has commenced roll out of the PainChek® pain assessment solution across 24 of its care centers and 1,150 beds. This first rollout of PainChek® in New Zealand further validates the international expansion of the PainChek business and demonstrates the potential of the offering worldwide. We have a growing pipeline of sales opportunities and are attending the NZ Aged Care conference in August with meetings scheduled with new clients prior to and post the meeting.
USA/FDA
-
USA FDA regulatory clearance is in progress for the Adult and Infant Apps. The Company had virtual meetings with the FDA in July 2022 that provided clear guidance for the PainChek Adult clinical study that will commence in Q4 CY22. We remain on schedule to submit the clinical trial results by Q2 CY23 for a deNovo clearance during Q4 CY23. The Company completed the application for the PainChek Infant App to be registered in the US as a Clinical Decision Support device during the past quarter and is now in contact with some potential early adopters and partners in the US healthcare professional sector. The Company will proceed to include the US in its launch programme in second half of CY22.
-
A grant from the FDA is supporting Duke University organisations to work toward identifying highquality clinical assessment outcomes and endpoints to effectively measure acute pain in infants and children[1] . This guideline would be used in future clinical trial designs and enable new pain medications to be developed and approved for infants. This is a significant for PainChek as it further validates the growing need for better pain assessment methods for infants and future requirements for regulatory grade pain assessment data to be included in US market based pharmaceutical clinical trials. We are in contact with Duke University as they conduct their research.
-
PainChek attended the BIO 2022 MedTech conference in San Diego during June 2022 as part of a NSW Health funded delegation and met with a number of potential US partners and industry leaders to support the Company’s planned market entry into the US and Canadian markets. In parallel PainChek is building additional contacts with commercial partners to ensure rapid market entry once clearance is received.
Children’s and Infant App
- PainChek remains in contact with the Department of Health following both the FDA and TGA confirm regulatory clearances for the COVID-19 vaccination for infants as young as 6 months of age. Market access for the Infant App in the US in 2022 would be a significant development for the Company and would align
ABN 21 146 035 127 E: [email protected] 401, 35 Lime Street, W: painchek.com Sydney, NSW, 2000
the Infant technology roll out across US, Europe and ANZ as this major infant vaccination program also rolls out.
-
The Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne has commenced recruitment of patients for the “Painfaces Study”, a clinical study with the PainChek® Infant (Multi-dimensional) Application. The study will evaluate the validity and reliability of the application for the assessment of procedural pain amongst infants in the Emergency Department.
-
The Company has also commenced additional infant research studies in Europe to expand clinical indications to include the 1-3 year age range thus expanding the market opportunity.
-
The Company continues to build and explore ‘go to market’ partnerships for the Infant App with large pharma, diagnostics and clinical research organisations.
PainChek® for Children with Disabilities
-
Led by Associate Prof Jenny Downs, Principal Research Fellow, Head Disability Research Program and CoHead Child Disability Team, Telethon Kids Institute, a team of Western Australia researchers received a State Government of Western Australia Future Health Research and Innovation Fund grant to work in collaboration with PainChek to develop a new pain assessment tool specifically for children with disability aged 5 to 12 years. The project was one of 17 awarded in the McGowan Government’s inaugural Innovation Seed Fund 2022 with more than $8 million distributed under the program, focused on novel ideas that have the potential to improve the health and wellbeing of Western Australians. The project, known as ‘Detecting pain in kids who can’t tell you it hurts: PainChek® for children with disabilities’ received $392,820 in funding over two years the majority of which has been allocated to PainChek for the App development. The project has commenced with ethics approval for the qualitative phase of the project received, and the application for the quantitative phase (which includes the app development) submitted.
-
PainChek will hold the exclusive rights to utilise the arising IP to commercialise the new tool, and have global, non-revocable, exclusive and perpetual rights for future pain assessment tool development or refinement.

About PainChek®
PainChek® Ltd is an Australian based company that develops pain assessment technologies.
Pain often goes unrecognised and under-treated in people with communication difficulties. PainChek Universal is a clinically validated smartdevice-based medical device that enables best practice pain assessment for all people, everywhere.
PainChek Universal is a complete point-of-care solution that combines the existing PainChek® App with the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). This enables best-practice pain management for all residents living with pain in any environment — from those who cannot verbalise pain to those who can, and those who fluctuate between the two.
The PainChek® App uses artificial intelligence and facial recognition to detect pain in those who cannot self-report. This gives a voice to those who cannot verbalise pain, whilst also driving objectivity and consistency in all assessments. For those who can self-report, PainChek Universal also includes access to the Numerical Rating Scale, a well-established standard used to document pain levels amongst these individuals. PainChek Universal also supports pain assessment using both tools at the point of care, for those people whose ability to communicate fluctuates.
PainChek® is being rolled out globally in two phases: first, PainChek® for adults who are unable to effectively verbalise their pain such as people with dementia, and second, PainChek® for infants who have not yet learnt to speak. Both the adult and infant products have received regulatory clearance in numerous markets including Australia, Europe, UK, NZ, Singapore and Canada.
To date PainChek has been contracted for approximately 126,000 beds across 1,500 facilities globally and has now reached a cumulative 1,300,000 pain assessment performed. It has 60% market share in Australia while continuing to accelerate its presence in international markets.
