Tech breakthrough redefines how infant pain is measured

Oxford’s PINCH project is pioneering a smarter, evidence-based way to assess pain in infants—using brain and heart signals instead of subjective cues like crying or facial expressions. Now backed by EIT Health’s Deep Tech Venture Builder, the initiative is overcoming commercialisation hurdles with strategic venture support and expert mentorship. 

For private healthcare leaders, this marks a shift toward precision paediatric care, where innovation meets real-world application, improving outcomes and reducing treatment errors in neonatal wards.
