Regularized multiple-input pain assessment and trend

Methods and systems implement a pain assessment regularizing system to autonomously observe pained expressions and physiological measurements of a patient, in order to systematically collect data inputs which may be converted to pain assessment factors. The pain assessment regularizing system, by collecting this data, may combine it with clinical appraisals of pain intensity and patient self-reporting of pain intensity, weighing each factor appropriately in a manner sensitive to the progression of a patient care program, so as to lessen confounding effects of subjective pain assessment. The pain assessment regularizing system may generate a time series of regularized pain assessment factors, and further forecast a regularized pain assessment trend. A clinician may further operate the pain assessment regularizing system to review a visualization of both the time series and the forecast, providing the clinician with rigorously sampled and analytically predicted data which cannot be derived through manual and mental efforts.
