Aurora — Migraine Diary

Aurora is a migraine diary that demands no effort during your hardest moments and delivers scientifically rigorous insights in your calm ones. One tap to record an attack. Details — later, when you can. Apple Watch, widgets, and Siri Shortcuts work without opening the app.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• One-tap logging — attack, prodrome, medication. From the widget or Apple Watch; attacks and prodromes also by voice via Siri. • MOH timeline — monitoring per ICHD-3 criteria. Aurora warns you when you're approaching the medication-overuse threshold. • Menstrual module — automatic classification of menstrually-related migraine (MRM/PMM). Risk-window forecast 48 hours in advance. • Trigger analysis — case-crossover design (Maclure 1991) with weekday stratification and Benjamini-Hochberg correction. No false "magic" insights: only statistically robust associations with 95% confidence intervals. • PDF report for your neurologist — automatic HIT-6 and MIDAS scoring, abortive medication effectiveness (2-hour pain freedom rate), attack calendar, methodology disclaimer. • Apple Health — two-way integration. Aurora reads sleep, HRV, wrist temperature and writes back attacks as standard headache events. • Custom triggers — add your own trigger factors beyond the built-in catalog, then copy your last entry in one tap.

AURORA FOR CHRONIC MIGRAINE

Aurora automatically detects transition to chronic form (ICHD-3: 15 or more headache days/month for 3+ months) and switches the interface: daily pain slider instead of attack counter, "headache-free days" metric, breakthrough peaks on the Home screen.

AURORA FOR PREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING

When pregnancy/breastfeeding mode is enabled, Aurora checks medications you log in the app against FDA categories and the LactMed database. Ergotamines are flagged with warnings, triptans are category C, acetaminophen is considered safest. This isn't medical advice — it's a reminder before you talk to your doctor.

PRIVACY-FIRST

• All computation happens on-device. • No third-party SDKs, analytics, or ads. • Data never leaves your iPhone except for syncing between your own devices via your Apple ID. • Delete = full deletion, including iCloud.
