Problem
Migraine sufferers often face challenges in consistently managing their symptoms and reducing the frequency and intensity of attacks. Traditional biofeedback therapy, a proven method for migraine management, is typically only accessible in clinical settings, limiting its availability and convenience for many individuals.
Solution
Juva Health offers a mobile digital therapeutic that delivers personalized biofeedback therapy via a smartphone app, enabling users to manage migraine symptoms from the comfort of their homes. The app leverages the phone's camera to monitor vital signs, providing real-time feedback and coaching through biofeedback exercises designed by clinical psychologists. By learning to control physiological responses such as heart rate and breathing, users can calm their nervous systems and reduce migraine frequency and severity. The app combines migraine-specific exercises with customized coaching plans, adapting to the user's skill level and providing personalized feedback to improve pain management and overall well-being.
