About
Mikaela Schlumpf is a researcher at the forefront of digital health innovation, with a primary focus on chronic pain management and patient-centered technology. Her work centers on developing and evaluating conversational agents—or chatbots—to improve pain assessment and education, making evidence-based care more accessible and scalable. Schlumpf’s most-cited study, "Acceptability of a Pain History Assessment and Education Chatbot (Dolores) Across Age Groups in Populations With Chronic Pain," published in 2023 with 17 citations, demonstrates her pioneering role in integrating pain neuroscience education into digital platforms. This pilot study not only validated the feasibility of using chatbots for pain history collection but also highlighted their broad acceptability across diverse age groups, a critical insight for inclusive health technology design. By bridging the gap between contemporary pain management principles and user-friendly digital tools, Schlumpf contributes to a growing movement that empowers patients through self-management and informed decision-making. Her work is particularly notable for its focus on real-world applicability, ensuring that technological advances translate into tangible improvements in patient care and quality of life.
