Identifying young people’s preferences for features of digital health solution for chronic musculoskeletal pain

Researchers at Curtin University are partnering with young people living with chronic musculoskeletal pain to co-design a digital health solution that supports their pain self-management, ensuring they can access the right care, at the right time, by the right people, and in the right place.

To assist them in developing this solution, the researchers are inviting young people (aged 16-24) who are currently experiencing chronic musculoskeletal pain (pain experienced in muscles, bones, joints, and nerves that has lasted for at least three months) to take part in a short online survey to share their preferences for an AI-enabled digital coach, and any potential concerns they have about using a digital health solution to manage pain.
