Mrs Herbert said she came around to the technology after the home presented her with data which showed how her mother was monitored and not disturbed during the night.At Elmbrook Court care home in Wantage, Oxfordshire, they are using AI to find out if residents are in pain.

Aislinn Mullee, deputy manager at the home, said: "It can be quite difficult to identify pain in a resident that is non-verbal."Using a smartphone app called Painchek, carers scan a resident's face for pain indicators, answer questions about the resident and then receive an instant percentage score which indicates the level of pain that person is feeling.Ms Mullee said it has made a "huge difference" and they have used the information in collaboration with local GPs to assess which pain medication a resident requires.

She added it has also been used to reassure family members that a loved one receiving end-of-life care was not in pain.Ms Mullee made clear the data gathered was password-protected and only visible to staff at the home.

At the University of Oxford's Robotics Institute they are hoping AI could also be used to train carers.
