Andrew Claus is a leading researcher in digital health interventions for chronic pain management, with a particular focus on conversational agents and patient education. His most-cited work, the development and pilot testing of the pain history assessment and education chatbot "Dolores," represents a pioneering contribution to the field. This 2023 study, garnering 17 citations, demonstrated the acceptability of chatbot-delivered pain neuroscience education across diverse age groups, addressing a critical gap in accessible, evidence-based pain management tools. Claus's research bridges behavioral science and health technology, showing how artificial intelligence can enhance patient engagement and understanding of complex pain mechanisms. His work is notable for its practical, patient-centered approach, directly tackling the challenge of delivering contemporary pain education at scale. By validating the use of chatbots in clinical populations, Claus has opened new avenues for scalable, cost-effective interventions that empower patients with knowledge about their condition, ultimately contributing to more effective, personalized pain care strategies.
