About
Matthew Hogue is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of behavioral psychology and digital health, with a primary focus on pain management and opioid reduction. His most impactful work centers on leveraging Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—a pragmatic, mindfulness-based approach to decreasing avoidable pain—through innovative mobile health technologies. Hogue’s landmark study, a randomized controlled trial published in 2020, demonstrated that ACT delivered via an automated mobile phone messaging robot significantly reduced postoperative opioid use in patients with orthopedic trauma. This research, which has garnered over 64 citations, represents a critical contribution to combating the opioid crisis by offering a scalable, low-cost behavioral intervention. By translating evidence-based psychotherapy into a mobile messaging format, Hogue bridges the gap between clinical efficacy and real-world accessibility. His work not only advances digital therapeutics but also provides a practical framework for reducing reliance on opioids after surgery. Hogue’s achievements highlight his commitment to integrating psychological science with technology to address pressing public health challenges, making his research highly relevant for students and clinicians interested in pain management, mHealth, and behavioral medicine.
