Brain & Life Magazine interviews Vincent DeOrchis, M.D. on his development of Headway: Migraine Analytics App on the Apple App Store
The August/September edition of Brain and Life Magazine presents “Smartphone Apps Can Help Manage Parkinson’s, Migraines, Epilepsy, and More”. In this article Dr. Vincent DeOrchis is interviewed on his development of the Headway: Migraine Analytics app which he developed with his migraine population in mind.
An excerpt from the article: “Still, many apps for neurologic conditions have real benefits because they can help consumers personalize their self-care and medical care, says Vincent S. DeOrchis, MD, MS, FAAN, a neurologist at Neurological Associates of Long Island and director of neurology at St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn, NY, who developed the app Headway: Migraine Monitor. Tracking in general is a great idea, he adds.
“I actively encourage my patients to use headache-tracking apps and share the generated insights during consultations,” he says. “By reviewing their logged data and associated analytics, patients become more engaged in their care, making consultations more productive. The information from the app frequently highlights patterns, triggers, or responses to medication that might otherwise be overlooked, leading to more precise and personalized treatment adjustments.”
