Advanced Biosensor for Treatment and Evaluation – ABATE Qr
- Charts patient’s progress and reports treatment results through built in software
- Combines the versatility and value of four scientifically proven measurements of inflammation into one modality
- Displays and collects data to track treatment outcomes
- Is a biologically based soft tissue measurement device
- Is a disruptive technology, a game changer that will take care of the tax burden associated with pain and its treatment
- Is a multimodal device with the combined functionality of algometers, galvanometers, thermography, and stethoscopes designed to measure and record myofascial trigger points
- Is a pain assessment technology based on years of research and patient observation
- Is a quad-recording device
- Is an “expert system” which translates physiological patient data into digital form for comparison and study
- Is an objective, compact, easy to use tool to measure soft tissue inflammation that causes pain, see also the “Fifth Vital Sign”
- Is less expensive to produce, are easier to operate, and simultaneously examine the multiple facets of inflammation when combined
- Locates and assesses soft tissue inflammation (the cause of pain)
Locates and plots painful areas reliably, applies effective treatment, and objectively validates outcomes. - Maps the skins surface for inflammatory measurements
- Measures pain to the benefit of the patient, caregiver, researcher, insurer, and legal system.
- Meets the criteria for Evidence-Base Practice Guidelines
- Meets the need of the Quebec Task Force “QTF” for scientific protocols for pain measurement
- Merges four separate FDA-approved biosensors into a one multi-modal probe that enables simultaneous imaging of multiple facets of inflammatory pain
Presents no hazards or danger to consumer and conforms to all consumer safety standards - Provides immediate therapeutic massage to relieve the pain
- Provides pain relief without side effects
Uses wireless communications to send pain data to a PC and or a hand held devices like cell phones and other platforms - Uses a multiple biosensors array for simultaneous display of soft tissues injury and damage
- Validates subjective pain complaints Is a method for treating pain and displaying pain treatment feedback
- Will exponentially boost Canada’s economic opportunity
ABATE Qr’s three distinctive markets, Diagnostic, Treatment and Research
- Professionals who need to prove treatment outcomes and cost-effectiveness
- Patients who need pain relief and validation for their injury claims
- Payors who want proof of injuries and evidence of treatment effectiveness
- Clinical practitioners, such as physicians, nurses, orthopaedists, physiotherapists, chiropractors, sports medicine and multi-disciplinary rehabilitation centers, hospitals (including veterinary hospitals)
- Clinicians who measure pain using questionnaires and make treatment judgments as a result
- Insurance companies (payers) who rely on the accuracy of medical reports to rule out fraudulent claims
- Lawyers who need to validate injury claims. ABATE can be relied on as an expert witness for soft tissue injury claims
- Medical device and drug companies who need to measure the cost effectiveness of their approach
- Patients who want cost effective treatment
- Patients who want validation for their subjective complaints
- Practitioner Associations who want to prove comparative effectiveness for treatments providing evidence for reimbursement
- Researchers who want to prove modality cost effectiveness
- Researchers who want to provide objective studies on various treatments
Universities and Colleges who train medical students to identify inflammation and damaged tissue using palpation
The Advanced Biosensor for Assessment, Treatment & Evaluation, Quad-recorder (ABATE Qr) will revolutionize the way we diagnose and treat pain. ABATE Qr enables health care practitioners to objectively isolate the underlying cause of pain by measuring and comparing soft tissue pain-inducing inflammation with adjacent pain-free tissue zeroing in on the source of the pain. This device complements clinical palpation through compression massage techniques and is capable of continuous monitoring of a patient.

- Presents no hazards or danger to consumer and conforms to all consumer safety standards
Every time a patient presents for a medical assessment the four vital signs, blood pressure, pulse rate, temperature, and respiratory rate are documented. Pain is now considered the “Fifth Vital Sign”. ASSESSx is capitalizing on this trend by targeting hospitals, medical facilities, research and training institutions to present ABATE Qr as an effective and essential pain diagnostics device.
