Chronic pain is complex, and so are the needs of patients and their informal caregivers. Our recent study explores how patient-centered design can make pain education tools more relevant and useful. We used a needs analysis and comparative evaluation to better understand what information people seek, how they want to receive it, and what existing tools are missing. The results show a clear demand for tools that are more emotionally supportive, interdisciplinary, and grounded in real-life experiences.
