“We have worked diligently to ensure that the development of Paindrainer maintains a high standard across key aspects such as data and privacy, technical security and stability, usability and accessibility, and last but not least, professional and clinical assurance.

The jurys reasoning for awarding Paindrainer®
“Paindrainer® was chosen by the jury for its unique and innovative chronic pain management solution. Highlighting its patient-centric AI technology, the jury praised its potential to transform healthcare from a calendar-based to a need-based system. With strong evidence backing and readiness for market regulation, Paindrainer® represents a promising breakthrough for both patients and healthcare providers in the Nordics.”
“The winners of the Nordic Health App Award 2023 showcase the huge potential we have within digital health in the Nordics. But to build a healthcare system that's sustainable and integrated by 2030, we must bridge the gap between innovation and implementation, between health-tech and health-care. NordDEC can be that bridge. A shared Nordic solution will not only create a bigger and more attractive home market for our winners, but it will also attract international health tech pioneers,” says Anders Tunold-Hanssen, CEO and Project Manager, Nordic Interoperability Project AS.
“Nordic Innovation has developed the Nordic Health App Award as it is an important way to promote the innovative solutions that are being developed by Nordic health-tech companies. In this regard, we are looking forward to following Paindrainer® and the other finalists’ journey through the NordDEC accreditation,” says Rasmus Malmborg, Head of Program, Nordic Innovation.
