METHOD FOR ASSESSING PAIN EXPERIENCED BY A PATIENT

Abstract: a method for assessing pain experienced by a patient () comprises: receiving a sensor signal () which has been generated in a sequence of epochs () by a sensor () configured for measuring a physical activity of the patient (), wherein each epoch () comprises a sequence of measurement periods (), wherein the sensor signal () has been generated in each measurement period (); determining a signal intensity value () for each measurement period () from the sensor signal (); classifying the signal intensity values () of each epoch () with different physical activity classes () to obtain a classification result () for the epoch (); and determining a behavior assessment score () indicative of the pain experienced by the patient () from the classification results () of different epochs ().
