Bridging Gaps in Pain Management by Tackling Chronic Pain Stigma Through mHealth
Abstract
Chronic pain affects millions globally, with stigma compounding the physical burden. This social and psychological challenge isolates patients, hinders care, and worsens outcomes. StigmApp is a groundbreaking mobile health application designed to combat the stigma associated with chronic pain. Combining behavioral science, healthcare, and technology, it offers educational resources, fosters community connections, and integrates stigma-reducing strategies into pain management. Users praised its ease of use and impact on health and social well-being. StigmApp showcases the potential of mHealth technology to not only address physical symptoms but also dismantle the barriers of stigma in chronic pain management. This chapter explores the collaborative approach behind the app's development and the preliminary outcomes of its implementation. Additionally, it discusses how mHealth can serve as a tool for broader public health challenges where stigma is a significant barrier to treatment and support.
