Abstract: This project aims to leverage digital and wearable technologies as tools for comprehensive headache management. It is estimated that around 40% of the world's population suffers from headaches. This ailment is considered the third leading cause of loss of years due to disability. Despite this, headaches are often underestimated because they are frequently episodic and not life-threatening, so the consultation rate is low and the self-treatment rate high. This may indicate that there is low public awareness of the existence of effective treatments. To address the barriers to proper management of headache disorders, this project aimed to develop an evidence-based tool to help people with headaches by integrating the possibilities offered by wearable technologies. The project adopted a user-centered design methodology; in this way, the user could be placed at the center of the work process. This involved an extensive literature review to gain a deeper understanding of headaches and their treatments, an evaluation of existing applications, qualitative interviews with patients and medical professionals to identify their needs, as well as the definition, development and evaluation of an interactive prototype. The unique contribution of this project is the focus on the needs of patients/health professionals, while integrating a strong design perspective, incorporating gamification and taking into account the potential of new technologies.
