Co-Designing Mobile Serious Games to Support Patients With Psoriatic Arthritis and Chronic Pain: Mixed Methods Study

This study uniquely contributes to the field by co-designing mobile serious games specifically for patients with PsA, integrating expert and patient input to address chronic pain through accessible, cognitively engaging digital interventions-an approach not previously explored in this population. Future work will refine game mechanics, integrate adaptive difficulty, and conduct clinical trials to evaluate therapeutic efficacy. NoPain Games may serve as complementary tools within digital care ecosystems, offering support tailored to the therapeutic needs and physical limitations of patients with PsA underserved by conventional therapies.

Abstract

This study uniquely contributes to the field by co-designing mobile serious games specifically for patients with PsA, integrating expert and patient input to address chronic pain through accessible, cognitively engaging digital interventions-an approach not previously explored in this population. Future work will refine game mechanics, integrate adaptive difficulty, and conduct clinical trials to evaluate therapeutic efficacy. NoPain Games may serve as complementary tools within digital care ecosystems, offering support tailored to the therapeutic needs and physical limitations of patients with PsA underserved by conventional therapies.
