Brief Summary

The overall objective of this Early Adoption project is to gather evidence for how Managing My Pain Program (MMP), a novel digital pain management application can enable better care at home for chronic pain sufferers in the province of Ontario, Canada across 4 sites in urban, community, and rural settings

Detailed Description

Chronic pain imposes a large burden on individuals and society. A patient-centric digital chronic pain management application, Managing My Pain Program (MMP) that incorporates validated questionnaires can be used to enhance communication between providers and patients and promote self-management to evaluate the extent of patient engagement with the app when used in clinical settings.
