Perspectives on adapting a mobile application for pain self-management in neurofibromatosis type 1: results of online focus group discussions with individuals living with neurofibromatosis type 1 and pain management experts.

Both participant groups endorsed the use of iCanCope (iCC) as an NF1 pain self-management mobile app. Differences between groups were noted, however. The NF1 group appeared interested in detailed and nuanced pain tracking capabilities; the expert group prioritised tracking information such as mood, nutrition and activity to identify potential associations with pain. In tailoring the existing iCC app for individuals with NF1, attention should be paid to creating a community support group feature and to tailoring content, features and format to potential users' specific needs.
