Track: Case Studies

Abstract

The topic of pain management systems has been around based on existing studies. However, existing systems are still limited, especially with the application of persuasive technology and UX/UI principles in pain management. The objective of this systematic review paper was to gain knowledge and provide existing parameters in developing a web-based application for chronic pain management using persuasive technology. A total of one hundred fifty-seven (157) studies/papers were collected from the year 2017 and they were filtered down based on title, abstract, and full-text eligibility. Fifty-one (51) studies were chosen to be included in this review paper, which presented the elements and evaluation of UX and UI in eHealth applications, the persuasive design models and principles, and the components in the remote chronic pain management system, in which all of them could be used as a basis in developing a web-based application for chronic pain management using persuasive technology. Furthermore, after basing on the presentation from the existing studies, this review paper also proposed a development model for the chronic pain management web application that also applies persuasive technology.
