Welcome @caroljune, I couldn't open the Boston Globe article either since it wants a subscription. I found a couple of articles from Brown University that discuss the same app that the Boston Globe article mentioned.

--- Want to understand chronic pain? There’s an app for that.: https://alumni-friends.brown.edu/news/2023-03-25/soma-app
--- SOMA – an app to monitor bodily symptoms: https://www.brown.edu/carney/research-project/soma-%E2%80%93-app-monitor-bodily-symptoms.

Are you able to share a little more about the type of chronic pain you have?

Thanks. I also found the site. I have chronic left neck pain originating in c7: 5/6. It is arthritis in the faucets. Now nearly a year since onset. Pain has gradually increased and last fall was severe into upper back both front and back. I’ve had 2 rounds of PT, massage therapy, personal trainers. And 3 steroid series with some short term relief. Now am waiting for a rhyzotomy. I’m 82 and still active with walking and hiking, yoga, swimming and teach chair yoga 3 times a week. I am constantly realigning myself to avoid forward slump. Pain is constant but at times can be low level. Generally about a 5.
