Evaluating the Acceptability, Feasibility and Usability of Various Conversational Data Collection Software

Study Summary

This research study is being conducted to evaluate digital software tools that collect health information through conversations. The study will test how acceptable, feasible, and usable these conversational software programs are for patients with chronic pain. Purpose of the Study: The goal is to understand whether digital conversational tools can effectively gather biopsychosocial information (biological, psychological, and social factors related to health) from patients experiencing chronic pain. Biopsychosocial information includes details about your physical symptoms, emotional well-being, social circumstances, and how these factors interact to affect your health. These digital tools are designed to have conversation-like interactions with patients to collect this comprehensive health data in a more natural and engaging way. What Participation Involves: If you join this study, you will interact with digital conversational software that will ask you questions about your health, pain experience, and related factors. The software is designed to communicate with you in a conversational manner, similar to talking with a healthcare provider, to gather information about your condition. You will be asked about various aspects of your chronic pain experience, including how it affects your daily life, your emotional state, and your social interactions. Who Can Participate: This study is looking for participants who have chronic pain conditions. Medical providers who treat patients with chronic pain are encouraged to refer eligible patients to this study. Healthcare providers interested in referring patients or learning more about the study can contact the study sponsor, AugMend Health Inc. Why This Research Matters: Chronic pain affects millions of people and understanding the full scope of how it impacts patients requires collecting detailed information about physical, psychological, and social factors. Traditional methods of collecting this information can be ti

Primary Outcome

Acceptability will be measured using the Acceptability, Feasibility and Usability Survey (AFUS) - Acceptability Subscale, a researcher-developed instrument. This subscale includes items from Part 1 (Core Assessment Experience), Part 2 (culture), Part 3 (Future Use \& Preference), Part 4 (Privacy \& Trust), and Part 5 (Medical Disclosure Comfort). Items are rated on a 7-point Likert scale (1 = Strongly Disagree to 7 = Strongly Agree). Subscale scores will be calculated as the mean of all acceptab
