Abstract: Patient suffering from pain is in need for an immediate medical intervention, however in some
cases self-pain assessment is not available due to unconsciousness or prone to errors due to observer’s biases. Therefore, automated pain assessment and management is needed. The internet of things (IoT) revolution along with biosensor technology could be convenient for pain assessment and management application. Therefore, this paper is a mini-survey of the literatures in this field published in six years (2016–2021) was conducted in three online databases. Hundreds of papers were found, however after title, abstracta and contents screening only 13 papers were included. This paper is aimed to review the papers that
suggest a pain assessment model in a IoT philosophy, in order to summarize the present work and propose new suggestions for future work. Research with different pain levels, in a bigger and real patient population with different diseases were suggested in the conclusion for future work.
Keywords: Internet of Things, pain monitoring, pain management, biosensor.
