Lost in a Good Game. An Exploration of Immersion, Mobility and Chronic Pain

      Аннотация: Chronic pain is a significant and growing problem. Various treatments have been proposed and used with varying degrees of success.

In this study, I explore whether personal mobile platforms, in particular mobile phones, can be used to facilitate meditation and therefore alleviate chronic pain.
