I've gotten migraine headaches for the last 8-10 years, and I still do not keep a diary.

My initial reaction is that different migraine sufferers would need to be asked different questions at different intervals. I would recommend:

- Have the user access the app/site when they notice they are having a migraine. At that point ask a battery of questions to see if the "triggers" can be narrowed down. I personally have three triggers.

- Once the user has confirmed a migraine, THEN you should ping the user to see how bad it is, what the current symptoms are, and if is ongoing. I generally have migraines lasting for 3-5 hours with varying symptoms depending on what "stage" I'm in. I have 4 distinct "symptom stages".

I'm beginning to understand what PG means now when he says YC looks for teams more than ideas. Please do not take that as a knock against this idea - I do not mean in that way. I would be confident in my team and be honest about it's limitations and potential. As someone in the Healthcare IT line of work, there is a TON of space open to an intelligent young team.

Best of luck.

My phone beeping and buzzing at me mid migraine would result in the phone being launched into the nearest wall. These guy's might have more luck with something other than headaches since many migraine sufferers find the pain can be debilitating. If they stick with migraines I hope they take that into account.

When I kept a medical diary for mine the only thing that really worked was pencil and paper because I could actually tolerate writing on a yellow legal pad.
