HPF is an innovative project developed by a team of students from the Medical School and the Department of Computer Science. The team aims to design an alternative method for recording patients' perceptions of pain using a saliva biosensor and a mobile application. The app will guide patients in describing their health condition more accurately, while the collected data will contribute to a more objective approach to pain management and personalized treatment solutions.

​

HPF was awarded the "Rector's Council Award", which grants the winning team the opportunity to participate in Stage Two, the first pan-European competition for university-based startups within the RWTH Aachen Network. Their work stands out for its potential to revolutionize pain assessment and treatment, bridging medical science and technology for improved patient care.
