Exploring use of wearable sensors to identify early symptoms of migraine attack

Preferred Biosignals to Predict Migraine Attack

“…This study strengthens earlier studies that migraine is a geneticregulated illness and it is inherited from generation to generation. Because of hormonal changes, women suffer from migraine more than men and migraine sickness is located in the 25-44 age group [4,23,1]. In this study most of the respondents were 30-49 years old, and they had been diagnosed with migraine over the years.…”

“…Measuring human biosignals on the wrist is proved useful in predicting the emergence of diseases [23]. The six most important biosignals were sleep quality, pulse, blood pressure, stress levels, sleep rhythm, and energy consumption.…”

“…The sensors used for self-measurement are small and can be used with wearable devices and mobile technology [12]. Earlier research [23] shows that migraine patients want to use a smartwatch or intelligent bracelet that can measure the pre-symptoms of a migraine attack. The current study proposed that migraine patients considered it important that the device measures the quality of sleep, pulse, blood pressure, stress levels, sleep rhythm, and energy consumption.…”

“…Earlier studies about migraine patients' willingness to wear sensors to detect migraine pre-symptoms and their pre-symptoms revealed that 88.8% of the respondents wanted a device to detect an upcoming migraine attack. The study also showed that most of the participants wanted the device to be located on the wrist, either in the watch, bracelet, or skin patch [23]. Sleep quality is associated with migraine birth and sleep disorder is a major trigger of migraine, also raising the body's stress hormone [26].…”

Identifying bottlenecks in work processes: Elderly care

“…The sensor network consists of sensors designed to monitor the environment and transmit the information it collects in digital form forward. [22,23,24]. Healthcare sensors are integrated into devices, systems, and environments.…”
