Description: Many people experience persistent pain after completing curative treatment for breast cancer and may not have access to proper education about its causes and how best to manage it. A digital health coach (avatar) that can provide this education could prove more accessible to breast cancer survivors. By conducting this study, we aim to: • Develop content for the digital health coach intervention using recommendations in current clinical practice guidelines and experts in the fields of breast cancer and pain science (this is already complete). • Measure the health outcomes of breast cancer survivors and seek their feedback on using the digital health coach for a 6-week period to determine whether it shows enough promise to test its effect in a larger trial. • Test the feasibility of recruiting participants and running the trial for the purpose of developing/refining study methods for a larger trial.
