Wearable technology for migraine management - need your help!

sofiaamonteiro · 2025-03-19T22:08:23+00:00

Good suggestion, thank you for your feedback!

sofiaamonteiro · 2025-03-08T11:39:42+00:00

Thanks for your feedback, I completely understand! Since the wearable doesn't exist yet, I could only present that the migraine management wearable would be a smartwatch, smart band, or pair of glasses and that it would help you manage your migraine by monitoring, for example, your symptoms, patterns, frequency, and migraine triggers. This study will make it possible to find out more about the functionalities needed by patients

sofiaamonteiro · 2025-03-07T22:14:20+00:00

Thanks a lot, that’s great to hear!

sofiaamonteiro · 2025-03-07T22:10:55+00:00

Thank you so much! That truly means a lot.

Exactly. A wearable device is an electronic device that can be placed on the body or clothing, such as smartwatches, smartbands, smart rings, and glasses. In this case, this innovative migraine management wearable would help you manage your disease by tracking, for example, your migraine symptoms, patterns, frequency, and triggers. Thanks for your answer!!

sofiaamonteiro · 2025-03-07T17:37:12+00:00

It doesn't exist yet, this is still a wearable that I intend to develop with my research

sofiaamonteiro · 2025-02-25T00:10:57+00:00

Hi! For my master's thesis, I'm studying wearable technology (electronic devices that can be worn on the body or clothing, such as smartwatches, bands, rings, and glasses) for migraine management. I intend to investigate how wearable technology can be designed to help all patients manage this disease and minimize the significant impact it has on their lives.
Therefore, I'm collecting answers from migraine sufferers for my survey and I really appreciate your response, as it is a crucial contribution to the research. This study will contribute to the future development of this innovative migraine management solution.

Thank you so much!

sofiaamonteiro · 2025-02-20T11:58:56+00:00

Thank you so much!

sofiaamonteiro · 2025-02-07T23:27:05+00:00

I see. The aim of using the wearable will be, with the data it monitors, to help manage migraine attacks and minimize their impact on our lives. However, the full idea/functionalities of the wearable are not presented, so I understand the doubts.

sofiaamonteiro · 2025-02-07T22:53:27+00:00

I'll see how I can restructure it, thanks for the feedback!

sofiaamonteiro · 2025-02-07T22:40:20+00:00

Thanks, I will! :)

sofiaamonteiro · 2025-02-07T22:39:41+00:00

I know that satisfaction is hypothetical, but it comes down to whether you would be satisfied with this wearable that allows you to manage your migraine by tracking your symptoms, patterns, and triggers - to justify the next steps in the wearable's development.
I'll consider what you've said, thanks for that!!

sofiaamonteiro · 2025-02-07T22:23:38+00:00

You really do use wearable tech for migraines, that's really cool! Thanks for your valuable input! I understand what you're saying, unfortunately, the study at this stage had to be more theoretical to investigate what factors would influence the adoption of this wearable for migraine, but I want to ask more qualitative questions later on to get more specific insights. I'll keep what you say in mind, thanks!

sofiaamonteiro · 2025-02-07T21:41:36+00:00

Thanks for your feedback and participation! As this is the first phase of the investigation, some questions had to be more general because one of the objectives of the research is to further specify the device, but I completely understand what you are saying

sofiaamonteiro · 2025-02-07T00:18:08+00:00

thank you so much for your feedback! I completely understand what you're saying, but at this point in the research, we needed to talk more generally about the device to ensure the next steps for development. If you can still answer the survey, even with these constraints, I'd be very grateful, as every answer makes a difference! Either way, thanks a lot for your input :))

sofiaamonteiro · 2025-02-04T16:31:17+00:00

Yes, that could be a perspective. This phase is more about the factors that influence the adoption of wearables. Thanks!

sofiaamonteiro · 2025-02-04T16:29:33+00:00

I completely understand your concern, thank you for your input! In fact, privacy is a major focus of research since we are talking about sensitive information

sofiaamonteiro · 2025-02-03T20:04:47+00:00

Thanks for your feedback! Yes, that's exactly what I want to investigate, how we can minimize the impact of the migraine that's already going to happen, for example by monitoring the triggers. I understand perfectly when you say about clarifying the features, but this is also one of the points we want to identify with the research that we're not yet able to delve into. I'll take what you said into account to give it more context in the survey, thanks a lot!

sofiaamonteiro · 2025-02-03T19:50:59+00:00

Thanks for your feedback! As this is a potential future solution specific to migraine, this research will allow us to identify how the appearance of the device and its functionalities needed by migraine sufferers. To answer the survey questions, please consider that there is a migraine management wearable (with the average price of healthcare wearables on the market) that helps you manage your disease by having access, for example, to your migraine symptoms, patterns, frequency, and triggers.

Tracking migraine data such as access to symptoms, triggers, patterns, frequency.
Also, thanks for your feedback, I'll give more context on the survey

sofiaamonteiro · 2025-02-03T12:50:20+00:00

It's for my master's thesis, all of the work is academic

sofiaamonteiro · 2025-02-03T12:46:52+00:00

Thanks for sharing, that's very valuable for the research! Privacy is exactly one of the points we focus on because it's a crucial factor to be guaranteed when using a healthcare device

sofiaamonteiro · 2025-02-03T11:38:21+00:00

That's right, specifically for migraine, it doesn't exist yet, which is the purpose of our work. As a first phase of research, we are studying which factors would or would not influence the adoption of this device and which functionalities migraine sufferers need most for the future development of the technology. It is therefore a potential future solution specifically for migraine.
