How Smartwatch Sensors Detect Early Migraine Attacks

Episode 129 of The Wearable Tech Podcast explores how smartwatches and fitness trackers are now predicting migraine attacks up to an hour before symptoms begin. Lucas and Luna examine the sensor fusion behind this — heart rate variability, skin conductance, and accelerometer data — and the real-world study from the University of Michigan that showed 83 percent of users received early warnings. They also discuss the limitations: false positives, individual calibration needs, and whether wearable data can replace traditional aura tracking for chronic migraine sufferers. The episode includes a case study of a pilot program at a Boston neurology clinic where patients wearing low-cost fitness bands reduced their acute medication use by 40 percent over three months. #MigrainePrediction #WearableTech #SmartwatchSensors #HeartRateVariability #GalvanicSkinResponse #Accelerometer #UniversityOfMichigan #BostonNeurology #ChronicMigraine #HealthTech #FitnessTracker #EarlyWarning #PersonalizedHealth #SensorFusion #DigitalHealth #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
