Tattoo-based biofeedback interface for tension headache and migraine patients
Pages 483 - 485
Abstract
Tension headache and resulting migraine are an ubiquitous medical condition that impairs the lives of affected individuals. A potential solution to support therapy could use biofeedback. We developed an EMG-based (electromyography) prototype that monitors muscle activity. Realized as a non-permanent electronic tattoo, it indicates muscle hypertension through vibration feedback. Interviews with medical experts confirmed the potential utility of this idea, and provided advice on its design. An exploratory qualitative pilot study explored the potential for such live feedback on muscle tension, and whether realisation as a non-permanent electrical tattoo is suitable. Our small-scale study shows that this approach is promising for alleviating these conditions.
