Brief Biography

Varun Jain is a BHSc. candidate in his fourth year at McMaster University studying Health, Engineering Science, and Entrepreneurship. His biophotonics research focuses on creating a clinical standardized pain assessment tool for monitoring pain in elderly individuals using EMGs and accelerometers. Varun's industry experience includes a co-op internship at Trainer+ working in back-end software development beginning May 2019. Outside of research, Varun has worked numerous teaching assistantships for courses such as PHYSICS 1D03 / 1E03, HTHSCI 1I06, and IBEHS 4C03.


Research

Varun Jain is working on a feasibility study to assess the added value of an Integrated Musculoskeletal BioFeedback Device (IMBED) combined with neuromuscular exercise and education (GLA-DTM) to decrease chronic pain in older adults with osteoarthritis. The device will integrate digital pain mapping and EMG biofeedback within a mobile application designed in Flutter for clinical assessment and remote access over time. Additionally, kinetic information (acceleration and gyroscope data) will be acquired from an ESP32, stored in Firebase, and accessed on the mobile application to guide clinical pain assessments.
