Pressure Point Weather was created with a simple but important goal: to help people who suffer from weather-sensitive migraines stay ahead of their condition without compromising their privacy.
We believe that effective migraine management shouldn't require sharing your personal health information with third parties. That's why we built Pressure Point Weather to monitor environmental triggers rather than tracking your symptoms, medications, or medical history.
For millions of people worldwide, weather changes aren't just an inconvenience—they're a migraine trigger. Sudden drops in barometric pressure, temperature swings, high humidity, and strong winds can all contribute to debilitating migraine episodes.
Traditional migraine apps often require you to log symptoms, medications, and personal health data, creating privacy concerns and HIPAA compliance requirements. Many users simply want weather alerts without the complexity of comprehensive health tracking.
Pressure Point Weather takes a different approach:
Pressure Point Weather monitors five key atmospheric conditions that research has linked to migraine triggers:
Each factor is scored from 0-4, weighted based on research significance, and combined into an overall risk score that updates throughout the day.
Your privacy is our top priority:
Our risk algorithm is informed by peer-reviewed research on weather-related migraine triggers, including:
While Pressure Point Weather provides scientifically-informed risk assessments, it's important to remember that migraine triggers vary between individuals. Our app allows you to customize sensitivity settings to better match your personal experience.
Pressure Point Weather was developed by a team that understands the impact of migraines firsthand. We combined expertise in iOS development, meteorology, and medical research to create a tool that's both technically sound and genuinely helpful for people managing weather-sensitive migraines.
Important: Pressure Point Weather is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. It is an informational tool designed to help you monitor environmental conditions that may be associated with migraines. Always consult with qualified healthcare providers regarding your medical care and treatment. Do not delay seeking medical advice or disregard professional medical advice because of information provided by this app.
