Educating your patient on self-management

As a primary care physician you have limited time and resources for patient education. Chronic pain is something you see everyday in your practice. 

Basic guidelines for example for your patients' LBP according to WHO, would be worth mentioning. Along with those, a good idea would be to discuss with your patient the latest guidelines on knee OA management. But you have noticed that his health literacy level is medium to low, therefore you need extra time to explain and discuss with him. Time you don't actually have. 

You've read somewhere that mHealth applications are the new trend for OA pain management. They are accessible and easy for everyone to use. So you are keen on suggesting one to your patient.
