Young People’s Preferences for a Digital Coach to Support Pain Self-Care Study

Curtin University researchers are developing a digital health solution for young people with chronic musculoskeletal pain. We need your feedback on an AI-enabled coach and any concerns about using digital tools for pain management.

Study Purpose/Description

Researchers at Curtin University are co-creating a digital health solution with young people who have chronic musculoskeletal pain. This tool will provide rapid, personalized, accessible pain self-management.

The research team need your input to determine which features of an AI-enabled digital pain coach are most important to young people and to identify concerns that young people have about using digital tools for their pain self-management. Your input will help to develop a solution that will improve pain care for other young people.
