An interdisciplinary team lead by Patrick McGrath, PhD, and Anna
Huguet Rosello, PhD, at the Centre for Research in Family Health is
currently developing a distance psychosocial intervention for
adolescents and young adults with recurrent headaches. This so-called
Wireless Headache Intervention (WHI) will be delivered
entirely via the iPhone and the computer. The team members are currently
testing one of components of this program: the iPhone headache diary.
This application (app) allows patients to conveniently track their
headaches and provides helpful reports. For further information about
the app and the study, view the WHI site at: www.crfh.ca/whi.
