| dc.description.abstract | Migraine is a common and debilitating neurological illness. Effective migraine treatment often relies on pharmaceutical interventions, though this strategy alone is insufficient in allowing migraineurs, or people who experience migraine headaches, to manage their condition because it does not address social and emotional burdens. My work aims to provide migraineurs with tools to build healthy habits and increase their understanding of individual triggers and treatments, thereby decreasing attack frequency and intensity. My motivation is to lessen the social and emotional burdens of migraine by reducing feelings of helplessness, isolation, frustration, and guilt among migraineurs. I propose that I may increase migraineurs’ actual and perceived control over their condition by providing them with tools to build positive migraine prevention habits. This solution is Pagno, a system by which to record attacks and personal metrics and synthesize these data to gain insights into appropriate treatment plans. By providing migraineurs with a system that optimizes the formation of migraine tracking as a habit, I propose that migraineurs will be empowered to adopt strategies that will improve short-term migraine incidence and long-term condition management. | en_US |
