The Digital Lab collaborated with the BC Children’s Hospital Pain Service and Pain BC to enhance MyCarePath. The collaborative team aimed to update the design, functionality and content of the platform to best serve the needs of its users, while also simplifying the content management process for MyCarePath.

The Digital Lab redeveloped the MyCarePath website and integrated evidence-based content provided by the MyCarePath team. The site contains self-guided educational modules pertaining to why chronic pain happens, the importance of activity and relaxation, and small positive changes that can be made that have a large impact on a patient’s well-being to centralize critical chronic pain education. In order to improve engagement and cater to visual learners, custom animated content was developed for the platform. To individualize the user experience, users can create profiles that allows the platform to make smart recommendations based on their needs and action plans to personalize their pain management. For ease-of-use, a filterable resource library has been created to streamline access to curated evidence based resources. 

The MyCarePath platform will be simple to maintain because of a customized content management system that allows for updates to be made to all platform content as research on pain management continues to evolve.
