About PainDrainer AB PainDrainer AB is a company developing digital platforms and applications contributing to health and well-being. PainDrainer was founded in 2018 by Prof. Carl Borrebaeck, Dr. Maria Klement (chronic pain patient herself), and Göran Barkfors (IT specialist). The idea was born when Maria, after participating in several pain rehabilitation programs, realized that the pain is affected by more factors than the human brain can keep track of, since all days are different. PainDrainer® uses advanced calculations based on artificial intelligence to coach the user in planning their day not to exceed a certain pain level, and to ensure that there is energy left for activities highly valued.
PainDrainer® has clinical evidence, is based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), self-management and artificial intelligence (AI). It is CE certified and is cleared by FDA as a Mobile Medical Device class 1 with exemption. www.paindrainer.com
