Headache App user manual

What’s the app?

Migrevention Headache App (the app from now on) is a mobile application and a part of Migrevention Digital Headache Clinic.

The app enables tracking and simple analysis of headache frequency, medication intake, medication efficiency, triggers, and alleviators by providing a structured headache diary.

It enables data syncing and asynchronous communication via chat function with healthcare providers who are using Migrevention Patient Manager.

Who is it for?

Migrevention Headache App is to be used by patients with primary headaches (in accordance with the third edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders, ICHD-3).

For other types of headaches (such as secondary headaches) or conditions, we recommend that you consult your healthcare professional to determine whether a headache diary is appropriate for tracking these diseases and conditions.

How to use it?

The Migrevention App offers a convenient tool for maintaining a digital diary of disease-related events (incl. headache frequency and received treatment). The device visualises this information in tables and intuitive charts that allow you to discover trends in the entered data.

Medication log function is connected to a medication library and an algorithm that allows to classify entered medication to a corresponding ATC group.
