Forecast

All migraine sufferers experience a combination of common triggers unique to them. Unfortunately for me, one of my big triggers is red wine. I am also at a higher risk of a migraine during significant weather shifts, a common trigger for most migraine sufferers.

Instead of a typical forecast for our UI challenge, I chose to combine a forecast and notification to a user of when the environment is changing in a way that potentially could result in a migraine. This would help someone reduce exposure to other triggers (I might avoid red wine that day) and also prepare the user for the potential disruption to a normal routine.

This feature also can be applied to other health contexts. A person with a bone or joint replacement who might experience exaggerated pain during extreme weather shifts or cold temperatures could use this type of forecast notification to take medicine before the pain begins, making pain management more effective.
