An app that forecasts your next headache

It’s 3 PM.

You’re in a meeting.

A mild pain starts in your head, quietly. You look at the screen, feeling tired. You wish you had taken a short break. You wish you knew the headache was coming.

But what if you could?

What if there were an app that gently asked you how your day went, what you ate, how long you stared at a screen, whether you felt stressed and quietly said, “Hey, tomorrow might be tough.” Not to scare you. Just to prepare you. Maybe even offer ways to stop the headache before it starts.

I’ve lived through migraines.

I know how brutal they are.

They throw off your entire day, force you to cancel plans, ruin your rhythm.

And the worst part?

You often don’t know why it happened. Sometimes it’s acidity. Sometimes it’s a bad night’s sleep. Sometimes it’s just a mix of little things you didn’t even notice.

Now imagine an app that helps you notice.

Here’s how it could work. It asks a set of questions like:

• What did you eat today?
• How much time did you spend on screens?
• Did anything stress you out emotionally?

The app takes that input and makes a prediction like a weather report for your head.

“Tomorrow’s forecast: 70% chance of headache. Here’s what you can do to lower it.”

It doesn’t have to be perfect. That’s not the goal. The goal is to give people something they don’t usually get: a heads-up. A bit of control. A small ritual that helps make sense of the chaos.

And even when the forecast misses the mark, the act of checking still helps. People start noticing their own patterns. They hydrate more. They cut down screen time before bed. They try magnesium-rich foods.

Tiny steps.

Big difference.

This isn’t just an app to track pain. It’s a guide that helps people understand why their headaches happen in the first place.

And it’s needed. Headaches are everywhere. Over 3 billion people suffer from them across the globe. That’s nearly half of humanity living with a condition that’s invisible, unpredictable, and often misunderstood.

Yet, most wellness apps focus on meditation or stress. Very few try to predict pain before it arrives. This one does.

Quietly. Gently. With empathy.
