Pediatric doctor creates device to measure pain in patients

Using a photo of the pupil, the data collected in the “algometrx” device can literally measure pain. It also tells doctors if certain pain medications are working or not.

“That’s part of the uniqueness of this device, because we can now look at patient and determine which drug or what kind of pain treatment makes the most sense,” Dr. Finkel, a pediatric anesthesiologist, explains.
