DiGAs in Action: Prof. Uta Kiltz on Digital Solutions for Chronic Pain in Rheumatology
In this episode, recorded at EULAR 2025 in Barcelona, we speak with Prof. Uta Kiltz (Bochum, Germany) about her recent research on the use of a prescribable digital health application (DiGA) for patients with chronic pain.
Her study, conducted as part of a randomized clinical trial, evaluated the app’s impact using the Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI)—a tool that captures both physical and emotional aspects of chronic pain. We dive into how patients interacted with the app, what the results reveal about its effectiveness in real-world settings, and how these insights can inform clinical implementation.
Importantly, Prof. Kiltz shares thoughts on how digital tools like this may help identify predictive factors for treatment success, paving the way for more personalized and targeted digital interventions in rheumatology care.
Tune in for a thoughtful conversation on the evolving role of digital therapeutics, patient-centered care, and how DiGAs are shaping the future of chronic pain management in rheumatology.
