Accurate and frequent pain assessment in animals is essential for providing proper anaesthesia and overall care. To support this, the VetPain App, developed by Professor Stelio Luna and colleagues, is an invaluable tool for enhancing users’ pain assessment skills across various species. The app features instructional videos that clearly demonstrate the behaviours to watch for when using different pain scales. It also offers interactive training, allowing users to test their knowledge and improve the precision of their pain assessments.
Additionally, the app enables real-time pain scoring for clinical patients, facilitating regular and accurate assessments that contribute to better pain management.
The Pain Committee fully endorses the VetPain App for its ability to boost users’ competence and confidence in pain assessment, ultimately leading to improved animal welfare through more effective pain management.
