Summary
The present study is a multicenter, explorative, qualitative study. The primary endpoint of this study is to evaluate to which extent the collection of data with regard to pain caused by illness or treatment can be optimized using health technology solutions. For this evaluation semi-structured qualitative interviews with 8-10 patients will be conducted.
Secondary variables are the evaluation of the patients' pain experience and the general patients' willingness to collect data with regard to pain by using technological devices themselves or with support of healthcare professionals.
