NeuroMetrix, Inc. (Nasdaq: NURO) today reported that it
will present two scientific posters at the upcoming PAINWeek
national conference to be held in Las Vegas,
NV, September 5-9.
Both studies leveraged the Quell® Health Cloud, which connects
with the Quell wearable pain relief device and its companion
smartphone app. The cloud database stores the user's demographic
and clinical profile, health metrics including pain, sleep,
activity and gait, and device utilization. The Quell Health Cloud
has over thirty-five thousand registered Quell users and is rapidly
becoming one of the largest chronic pain databases in the
world.
The two scientific posters are titled "Ambulatory Stride
Variability Measured by a Wearable Device is a Biomarker for
Chronic Pain Severity” and “Self-Reported Weather Sensitivity
Stratifies Subjects with Chronic Pain.” The complete abstracts can

"Chronic pain is a complex biopsychosocial condition that
requires a customized treatment approach. Our vision is to leverage
the unique data assets we are collecting in the Quell Health Cloud
to deliver personalized pain relief for our customers,"
said Shai N. Gozani, M.D., Ph.D., President and CEO
of NeuroMetrix. “We are particularly interested in how
quantitative gait parameters can be used to optimize chronic pain
management. In data to be presented at PAINWeek, we show that
automatic Quell gait measurements are an objective biomarker for
pain severity. Half of our users strongly believe that weather
influences their chronic pain. In another study to be presented at
PAINWeek, we show that Quell users with and without self-reported
weather sensitivity have distinct demographic and clinical
features. This is an important finding that will help us better
understand the relationship between weather and chronic pain.”
