Case study

The section below outlines the problem, decisions, implementation details, and measurable impact.

Problem in real life

Headaches are unpredictable. Most people try to remember or scribble something on a note. Patterns? You just miss them. And at the doctor’s office you don’t have a clear overview—which slows down treatment.

For whom

HeadYogi targets:

  • People with migraine or recurring headaches
  • Users who want fast, consistent logging
  • People who need to share data with a doctor or specialist
  • Anyone who wants privacy-first health tracking

Solution

A privacy-first headache and migraine diary for iOS, designed to log in seconds and reveal patterns later. Core features:

  • Quick logging of attacks and “no headache” days
  • Tracking triggers, medication, relief, and intensity
  • Overview cards and trends to spot patterns
  • Reminders, widgets, and quick actions for consistency
  • Pro: AI insights, extra articles, and richer exports for your doctor

Product website

HeadYogi has a dedicated website with localized content:

Social impact

HeadYogi helps people regain control over headache and migraine management with low-friction insights and better preparation for medical conversations. The free tier stays privacy-first and never sells user data.
