FAQ

Q. Will this technology be made available for other animals and even humans?

A. Yes to both questions. PainTrace™ does not actually measure pain, but rather the way a body responds to pain. This is a consistent response among mammals, even humans. Currently, thoroughbred racehorses have been studied and PainTrace™ has been extremely accurate in distinguishing health from known painful conditions. Other animals, such as dairy cows that suffer from painful arthritis could benefit greatly from a veterinarians ability to determine pre-symptomatic pain. As for humans, the process of getting FDA approval has begun.

Q. Are there any adverse effects to the body when using your product? (like radiation with an xray?

A. The PainTrace™ device works much like biofeedback devices in order to measure skin potential (SP), the natural electric charge of the skin. Our unit emits no electricity, not even a volt. It measures passively, as in an electrocardiogram. A stick-on disposable electrode similar to that used for an ECG is placed in the center of each palm. Lead wires are snapped onto the electrodes and these lead wires are themselves connected across a resistor box.
