ACTsmart – development and feasibility of digital Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for adults with chronic pain

Abstract Accessibility of evidence-based behavioral health interventions is one of the main challenges in health care and effective treatment approaches are not always available for patients that would benefit from them. Digitization has dramatically changed the health care landscape. Although mHeal...
