Title
Examining the Features of Mobile Health Applications Geared Towards Chronic Migraines: Content Analysis
Synopsis:
Over 300,000 mobile health applications are currently available to address a variety of health initiatives including a significant number focused on headache. Due to the volume of headache applications with no established method for content regulation, it remains a challenge to find a user-friendly experience that provides clinically relevant content. Patients utilize results from online queries to identify headache management applications. The purpose of this study is to investigate headache applications identified from popular search queries and analyze their headache management features in hopes to improve existing and future headache management applications.
