New York, NY – July 29, 2025 — NYSORA, the global leader in anesthesia and pain education, announces a major upgrade to its popular Interventional Pain App. With this release comes a new name that reflects a powerful expansion in capabilities: Pain Medicine Assistant App. This change marks a critical shift from a procedural reference app to a comprehensive clinical decision support and education platform for pain specialists, anesthesiologists, and clinicians practicing interventional pain medicine. “This is more than a cosmetic update, this is a transformation,” said Dr. Admir Hadzic, Founder of NYSORA. “We’ve reimagined the app to serve not just as a reference, but as an everyday clinical assistant at the bedside or in the clinic, with tools to improve patient outcomes and streamline decision-making.” What’s New in the Pain Medicine Assistant App 1) Clinical AI Assistant – MAIA for Pain Medicine Following the success of MAIA in the Anesthesiology Manual App, the Pain Medicine Assistant now includes MAIA, NYSORA’s AI-powered clinical support system. MAIA answers real-time questions, offers case-based recommendations, and helps clinicians navigate complex treatment decisions. DoseCalc – Tailors drug dosing by patient weight, age, and comorbidities. Case Manager – Helps clinicians simulate personalized treatment plans. Evidence-Based Search – MAIA rapidly synthesizes guideline-backed information in response to clinical queries. 2) Pain Medicine Updates– Literature You Can Use Clinicians no longer have to dig through dozens of journals to stay current. The app now features Pain Medicine Updates, concise, high-impact summaries of the most important research in pain management, reviewed by NYSORA’s educational board. Each summary includes takeaway messages and practical guidance. 3) Redesigned Interface for Faster Navigation The interface has been rebuilt for maximum speed and usability, perfect for point-of-care use. Procedures, updates, and the AI assistant are easier to find and interact with. Why It Matters […]
