I suffer from chronic pain and some days it can be a 6 or 7, or a 4. This is cool technology and seems like it may solve the gaslighting issue but this brings up a question. The way I experience pain that varies on a day to day basis is spread throughout the chronic pain community. What if the day we go to one of these appointments and the doctor thinks we are just lying.

Another thing is, since we are pain so much and often what if our pain tolerance goes up and the doctors experience the pain as we do with our high pain tolerance but not with what it should actually feel like?

This is really cool tech but that is just a couple things I thought about
