Abstract
Disclosed herein are platforms and methods for collecting migraine associated data. Migraine associated data is collected automatically, such as via a sensor, or is self-reported manually.
Claims18
A platform for collecting migraine associated data for an individual who experiences migraines, comprising:
- a) a sensor comprising:
- i) a detector used to automatically and instantaneously collect migraine associated environmental, physiological, and self-reported data;
- and
- ii) a communications element used to transmit migraine associated data collected by the detector to non-transitory computer readable storage media;
- and
- b) a non-transitory computer readable storage media encoded with a computer program including instructions executable by a processor to create an application comprising:
- i) a software module used to receive the migraine associated data from the sensor;
- and
- ii) a software module used to present an interface allowing the user to interact with the migraine associated data;
- c) a module applying an algorithm to said migraine associated data to generate analytic data correlating said migraine associated data with a migraine occurrence and/or comprising trends in such correlations;
- d) an ocular device comprising:
- i) a first mode that allows a target light wavelength or a target light intensity to pass through the first lens;
- ii) a second mode that reduces or substantially blocks the target light wavelength or the target light intensity from passing through the first lens;
- iii) a voltage source operatively coupled to the first lens and configured to generate a voltage, wherein application of the voltage to the first lens switches the first lens from the first mode to the second mode;
- and
- iv) an activator operatively coupled to the voltage source, and configured to activate the voltage source upon receipt of a signal from a signal receiver;
- v) wherein the target light wavelength or the target light intensity is associated with an occurrence of migraine headaches in the individual;
- e) transmitting a notification when migraine associated data is above a specific threshold or within a specific range and presenting said notification in a report.
15 more elements
A method of recording migraine associated data for an individual who experiences migraines comprising the steps of:
- a) receiving a sensor operatively connected to a non-transitory computer readable storage media;
- and
- b) instructing of the non-transitory computer readable storage media to signal the sensor to automatically and instantaneously make a measurement of the migraine associated environmental, physiological, and self-reported data, wherein making a measurement of the migraine associated data comprises:
- i) recording of the migraine associated data by the sensor;
- ii) transmitting the migraine associated data from the sensor to the non-transitory computer readable storage media;
- and
- iii) storing the migraine associated data on a memory of the non-transitory computer readable storage media
- c) applying an algorithm to said migraine associated data to generate analytic data correlating said migraine associated data with a migraine occurrence and/or comprising trends in such correlations;
- d) receiving an ocular device comprising:
- i) a first mode that allows a target light wavelength or a target light intensity to pass through the first lens;
- ii) a second mode that reduces or substantially blocks the target light wavelength or the target light intensity from passing through the first lens;
- iii) a voltage source operatively coupled to the first lens and configured to generate a voltage, wherein application of the voltage to the first lens switches the first lens from the first mode to the second mode;
- and
- iv) an activator operatively coupled to the voltage source, and configured to activate the voltage source upon receipt of a signal from a signal receiver;
- v) wherein the target light wavelength or the target light intensity is associated with an occurrence of migraine headaches in the individual;
- e) transmitting a notification when migraine associated data is above a specific threshold or within a specific range and presenting said notification in a report.
