Little is known about how to successfully engage primary care providers in recommending digital therapeutics to their patients. Exploring provider motivations in chronic pain management would potentially help to improve their engagement and inform the development of digital therapeutics.<h4>Objective</h4>This study examined primary care providers' motivations for chronic pain management, including their strategies and challenges, to inform the future development of chronic pain-related digital therapeutics tailored to primary care settings.<h4>Methods</h4>We conducted qualitative semistructured inJMIR formative researchDeveloping Digital Therapeutics for Chronic Pain in Primary Care: A Qualitative Human-Centered Design Study of Providers' Motivations and Challenges.PMC9938436UL1 TR000423R44 AT011593Masterson JMa KPKZhang YZbikowski SMWaters DStephens KAGeyer REPrado MGMollis BLfalseDeveloping Digital Therapeutics for Chronic Pain in Primary Care: A Qualitative Human-Centered Design Study of Providers' Motivations and Challenges.<h4>Background</h4>Digital therapeutics are growing as a solution to manage pain for patients; yet, they are underused in primary care where over half of the patients with chronic pain seek care.
