Digital Headache Diary pilot for Migraine Care at Oxford University Hospitals
Thank you for your interest in joining our Digital Headache Diary Pilot. Your participation is an important part of shaping how we care for people living with migraine—making it more efficient, personalised, and empowering.
This pilot project, in collaboration with our digital health partner Migrevention, is focused on improving how migraine symptoms are tracked and managed using a digital headache diary, instead of a traditional paper diary.
The digital diary, a mobile app, is designed to be simple and easy to use. You will receive clear instructions, and support is available should you need help getting started.
Your involvement is voluntary, and you can stop using the diary at any time. However, by taking part, you are playing an essential role in testing a more modern, patient-centred approach to migraine care—one that has the potential to benefit many others in the future.
We sincerely appreciate your contribution to this innovative project.
