AI powered pain expert – Teesside University

Teesside universityTalk to an artificial intelligence-powered expert about your pain.

A free interactive resource developed using cutting-edge technology to help millions living with persistent pain has been launched by Teesside University.

Academics from Teesside University’s Centre for Rehabilitation worked alongside artificial intelligence (AI) specialist StoryFile to develop a fully interactive digital version of internationally renowned pain management expert Pete Moore.

Described by StoryFile as a ‘conversational video’, AI Pete can interact with viewers, answer questions about persistent pain and how it can be managed, and share his first-hand experiences of living with it.

Pete was filmed answering over 300 questions in the rigorous interview stage of the development process. The AI recognises questions from viewers and plays the relevant response in real time, as in an ordinary discussion.

It has the potential to help millions of people living with persistent pain to access support, discover new pain management techniques and improve their quality of life.
