Objective: This study was conducted to understand the impact of tracking migraine via an app on patientprovider communication and migraine outcomes as well as patient perspectives of the app. Methods: Data collected were (1) patient-reported via a smartphone app developed for tracking migraines and (2) provided by integrated delivery networks. Results: Results contribute to the understanding that migraines place substantial physical and functional burden on people and highlight the role that tracking symptoms may play to improve migraine management. Conclusions: Digital tools, such as apps, aid in communication between patients and health care providers, possibly enhancing patient knowledge and understanding of their migraines and health care providers being able to better treat patients.
