EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Migraines can be a debilitating condition that affects different people in different ways. According to research, as much as 610,000 people suffer from migraines in the United Kingdom alone, this translates as 1 in 7 adults suffer from the condition (The Migraine Trust, 2009). The MIE-TRAKR is an innovative new device that provides an alternative solution to tackling migraines, than existing treatments, products and medications.
The MIE-TRAKR is a wearable technology that senses and measures multiple variables that are attributed to or are warning signs to migraines. The premise of the product is to help educate the user with their specific migraines whilst also acting as a companion to help their body perform better and avoid the potential for migraines.
The device can detect the following: Skin Temperature (Live Updates) Skin Moisture Activity (Live Updates) Pulse (Live Updates) Light Exposure (Continuous) Sleep Quality (MIE-SLEEPR)
As a piece of non-prescriptive design, the product can be used in any way that the user specifies, allowing the user to get on with day-to-day tasks with an unobtrusive device. ^ Figure 1 (Own Image, 2014)

This booklet will explore and explain the cognition, development, The device in essence, is a portable biofeedback device, but more proof-of-concept and validation of the MIE-TRAKR Migraine direct and instant than existing biofeedback rigs in hospitals. It is a Management Device. The purpose of the device is to help the part of the Wearable Technologies movement in product and sufferers of migraines live with and manage their condition through electronic design. This project has led me to interviews and meetings providing complicated data in a simple and easy to understand with Dr. Tim Cox, a representative from the Institute of Bio-Sensing interface. This data will enable the user to take control and make technology; Dr. Fayyaz Ahmed, a consultant neurologist of Hull and adjustments to optimise them in their day-to-day tasks and avoid East Yorkshire NHS Hospital; as well as Dr Mokhtar Nibouche, a the potential for migraines.

Migraines are a complicated medical condition with a wide array of effective remedy for a migraine attack at that moment (The NHS, symptoms and effects.

However migraines do not garner the same After an exploration into primary and desk research of the specifics empathy that other ‘serious’ health conditions have, with the for a developed product to help a sufferer of migraines live with and uneducated merely calling them a typical headache.

This is after a poignant piece of in the United Kingdom alone, this translates as 1 in 7 people suffer primary research where an end-user recalled how she suffered from from the condition (The Migraine Trust 2009). several migraines per month when she was younger.

Due to the various types of migraines, numerous people would have different experiences; some are fortunate to experience it maybe once in a few years, while others have periodic incidents of prolonged migraines throughout weeks and months. Migraines can negatively affect an individual’s life; there are cases of people who are bed-ridden for a few days because of it. There are treatments and medications that can reduce the symptoms but there are no known cures for migraines. Current therapies cannot be applied immediately and are not convenient to use for an efficient and

RESEARCH & INSIGHTS
This management device was conceived earlier after an interim presentation of ideas and concepts with Dr. Fayyaz Ahmed, readings can act as a warning to migraines as well as a biofeedback consultant neurologist of Hull and East Yorkshire NHS Hospital. As a control. Although existing biofeedback rigs use this data and provide specialist in migraines Dr. Fayyaz was disappointed that my designs it to the sufferer to try controlling their body temperature, these rigs were not actually designs for ‘migraine management’, but was are normally only found in hospitals and require a medical instead designs for therapy. With this feedback along with the professional for initial operation. understanding that some of the concepts in my initial kit did not apply to all of my end-users, I decided that all methods of relieving migraines were too subjective to the user. It was after another consultation with Dr. Fayyaz that I was reminded that, ‘prevention is the best form of medicine’. My focus was relief during and after a migraine, when actually, it could have been how to prevent them in the first place.
The device comprises of a Galvanic Skin Response sensor that will provide the user with updates on their skin conductivity and moisture activity which can determine possible dehydration, stress/ anxiety and tiredness.
As stress and anxiety are key attributes to migraine, these can be ^ Figure 7 (AGM Conference, n.d.) detected in a person as through skin temperature and pulse. With existing pulse biofeedback, the user can use the live feedback of their pulse as a tool to help calm down and control their heartbeat. ^ Figure 8 (HEY NHS, n.d.) Desk research into journals has outlined the correlation between migraines and finger-tip temperature, where live feedback of these

RESEARCH & INSIGHTS
Another tell-tale sign for stress and anxiety is skin moisture activity. Through Galvanic Skin Response data you can understand sweat activity, skin conductivity and even body hydration. All of which can correlate into dehydration, stress, anxiety and tiredness.
Sleep is another variable with a link with stress and migraines, but more importantly, quality of sleep. My primary research outline that 3 out of 4 of my end-users recalled most of their migraines occurring on days where they had poor quality sleep or didn’t sleep long enough. Good quality sleep can be determined through an evaluation of several pieces of information; duration and sleep cycles, as well as movement and sound made in a sleep state. Other variables that can help determine quality of sleep are light intensity and sound.
Light is synonymous to migraines, with a majority of sufferers recalling hypersensitivity to light as a symptom. After discussing this with several end-users it was understood that it was long exposure to light that was the issue, rather than the intensity of light itself. Of course intense light sources are not helpful, but the main issue is light over long periods of time.

THE INSPIRATION
My device being centred around the concept of healing and good health, initially I wanted my product to resemble the aesthetic of modern medical products, but after completing some initial research and development, it would be best if I design my product to stand apart from other health products. I went through many different themes and ideas for form but I felt most enamoured with geometric abstraction (Fig.1). Along with Fig.1, I also looked at jewellery and gems for inspiration, taking notes on the organic forms and colours of gems like diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds (Fig.2). I ^ Figure 10 (ffffound, 2011.) found great delight in the contrast between the reflective and smooth organic forms, with the sharp edges of the gems. On a ring, the light would be twisted and then reflected off from its surface, where as the gems would absorb and refract the light in a linear kind of ^ Figure 12 (americanexpatchiangmai, 2013.) sequence.
The angular forms I could see in these gemstones led me to products like the Nokia Prism phones (Fig.3), Sony PS4 videogame console
(Fig.4) and the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento concept car. What I ^ Figure 11 (Nokia, 2012.) took from these products was to design my device so it looked edgy with its sharp lines, geometry inspired pattern and refractive surface. After some initial designs, I decided to make the overall shape similar to smoother gemstones like a lapis lazuli, then incorporating the geometric abstraction and futuristic design into that shape, i.e. creating the diamond shaped into the surface, doing all I can to make sure its symmetrical. While geometric abstraction ^ Figure 13 (Amazon, 2014.)

was one of the key ideas to base my design around, the second was fitness. Of all the products I have researched, I have taken most the notion of light diffuse, which the refractive surface and futuristic inspiration from the Moov and Rabbit, my device will feature relevant colouring and edging falls under. I should also note for the overall sensors to determine a user’s health status to determine triggers of finish I wanted to achieve the high-gloss finish of the first Sony PS3 a migraine, as well as other electronic features such as the (Fig.6), I am particularly fond of the reflective and elegant finish this accelerometer found in the Moov to determine if a user is getting videogame console offers; which is why I decided to use the same enough sleep for example. The organic design and functionality of material, polycarbonate. the Moov, been worn around the wrist etc is something I took note on heavily, as my device can be worn or carried in numerous ways My original concept which I have kept in mind throughout my such as the arm, belt, bag, wrist so on. research and development was to make a migraine management kit/device, but after time I went the route of creating a companion device or a device based on wearable technology aimed at fitness. So looking at companion devices, like Little Printer and Karotz Rabbit, they all feature new smart technology which make them popular as they can left at home or office, yet still be used to create reminders, play music and other features. So taking from the Karotz Rabbit, I wanted to make my device as much as a companion ^ Figure 16 (Gizmag, 2014.) device with similar functions but appropriate in assisting a migraine sufferer. Now with the wearable technology, I looked at the Dash, smart wireless earphones, which not only serve as earphones but features body sensors and performance tracking. The Moov device that features sensors and trackers as well, but can be worn around wrist, ankles and bike pedals, it tracks how many steps a user takes to how they sleep and so on. Like the Moov, Nike were releasing their FuelBand, a similar wearable tech that tracks and monitors users

DESIGN PROCESS
For the migraine management project, I visited an array of avenues older Migraine Sufferer, Lorraine Castellioni. She recalled how she for product design solutions. My initial designs were focused on the suffered from horrific migraine attacks that would render her therapies and relieving of painful symptoms. However, a product unconscious or bed-ridden for weeks. She is in her 50’s and has that claims to heal is very precarious and comes with many efficacy been suffering from migraines since puberty at 17 years of age. issues and considerations. She recounted how as she got older, as she lived with her migraines for longer, she learnt how to manage them and herself. She cut out My design journey took me to therapies that bring therapy chocolates and made a routine for water consumption in regular techniques that require machines and hospitals, into small, compact intervals in her day. After revisiting ‘actual migraine management’, I and discrete portable therapy products. From a cooling acupressure found myself drawing inspiration from the ‘Internet of Things’. From finger sleeve, to a multi-therapy sleep mask. A big issue with directly this I decided to develop a migraine management companion; an treating symptoms is that each migraine sufferer requires different internet connected companion that follows you through the day and treatments. One of my end-users (Josh Briars) needed a cooling measures 4 different bio-levels and 4 different environmental levels. component to help with his migraines, whereas another end-user This concept was quickly scrapped as 2 of my 3 end-users voiced (Fiona Hailstone) felt cooling therapy has no affect on her during their opinion, to which I could not respond to. The ‘companion’ migraines. Migraines are subjective to each user and each user aspect was too gimmicky and a tacky novelty. Furthermore, Fiona experiences and treats their migraines differently.
After discussions with Dr. Fayyaz Ahmed, consultant neurologist of Hull and East Yorkshire NHS Hospital, I found that he was disappointed with my interim presentation and designs. He felt that the premise of a ‘Migraine Management Device’ was misleading, because my proposed concepts were managing in the sense of treatment during and after. He made me aware of a principle within medicine; prevention is the best form of medicine. This led me to review my desk research, where I found a poignant story from an
^ Figure 17 (My Own, 2014.)

DESIGN PROCESS
Hailstone was quoted as saying, ‘I’m not being funny, but I know when I’m dehydrated, I know if I had bad sleep, this isn’t going to help me’. After pondering this for a while, I agreed that it was too novel of an idea (in a negative respect) but the comments of it not being useful were flawed. Primary research recalls how many users would forget to drink regularly throughout the day and keep hydrated. Matthew White, a university student told me how he would regularly sit at the computer doing work and not take breaks. These would occasionally result in migraines. So with that respect, it may not help her specifically, but having a device that does the dumb processing on the side while the user is concentrating on tasks with more attention required, would be helpful.
I next found myself having to weigh up the benefits of a display to ^ Figure 52 (My Own, 2013) interface with the user or an alternative. A display was too simple of ^ Figure 54 (My Own, 2013) a solution, but also meant that I had less space to design a body for the product as most LCD modules required a majority of the wrist plane area. I weighed up different configurations for a 2 in 1 display, Thermal SyncGlove/Knee but the logos in the interface were illegible to read or understand.

DESIGN PROCESS
To proof the concept, I had to fabricate a working test rig. It was intended that this rig would be portable and used by the user of a week. However due to time constraints, delayed delivery time of components and failed meetings with Arduino experts, the rig was ready with only 3 of the 5 sensing variables. The device was left with end-user Callum Nicklin who pressed his finger to the sensors during 3 intervals of his day. Despite the device not picking up any negative bio-levels, I reduced the high and low values in the code to light up the LEDs for a more stable level. Callum Nicklin spoke of his interest and curiosity for the concept, but also voiced his disappointment with the rig. It was mentioned that he was most looking forward to the MIE-SLEEPR tracker and the Galvanic Skin Response.
^ Figure 20 (My Own, 2014.) ^ Figure 121 (My Own, 2014.) Before the test-rigging began, I had meetings with Dr. Tim Cox of the Institute of Bio-Sensing Technologies. After a successful meeting where I proposed my concept, Dr. Tim noted how most existing bio-sensing technologies only really sensed and detected 1 or 2 things, with the exception of the iPhone and Galaxy Gear. He said the concept was perhaps a bit too over ambitious, but did mention it was still applicable and feasible. The proposed concepts was not, completely rational because there was an efficacy issue with the application of the pulse and temperature sensor on the top side of the wrist-plane. However this was adjusted by making the ^ Figure 23 (IBST, 2011.) device finger-tip connected.

MATERIALS & MANUFACTURE
Injection Moulding is the manufacturing process I have selected; The Slap Band component will be an extrusion of flat Cold Carbon this method is known to be the most commonly used process with Steel #50, which will then be stamped and dip-coated in silicone. creating plastic parts. It is capable of creating a wide array of forms The stamping process should ensure the blades do not have sharp all with varying appearances and applications, from CDs to medical corners and edges while the Silicone dip-coat will ensure the safety products and more. This allows products to be made from simple or of the component further. This means the precision of the silicone complex designs, in addition, parts can be made in relatively short wall thickness is paramount to the process. The cold carbon allows periods of time (as little as 2 minutes). The MIE-TRAKR device is for the bespoke flex required to fit all users’ bicep and wrist made up of 7 injection moulded components, which can be circumferences comfortably. Whilst the silicone coating is medical completed in 30mins if it takes 2mins to create each component. grade, clean and non-conductive, something required for a product After injection moulding,the components will go through Vapour related to health. Polish Finishing, which increases clarity and gloss of plastics like ABS or polycarbonate as well as reduce rough surfaces. The CAD model is designed to allow for 2°-3° draft angles for injection moulds.
With my design, polycarbonate was my best choice. Polycarbonate is a type of thermoplastic known to be extremely tough, stable, transparent, lightweight, scratch-resistant and more. The strength of the plastic is so strong that it is regularly used for bullet-proof windows and safety glass. I also envisioned my device to feature a ^ Figure 25 (My Own, 2014.) highly refractive and transparent feature, so polycarbonate material suits my needs for this design. By using injection moulding with polycarbonate, I am able to create a high end-product with a smooth, clean surface with an elegant glossy finish for aesthetically-pleasing design.

BOUGHT-IN COMPONENTS
Electronic Components measuring sweat loss. This involves having two electrodes/sensors The electronic components are relatively expensive, so to which are attached to the index and middle fingers, after a minute counterbalance the high start-up cost, the injection moulding would current is passed to these electrodes, GSR will be able to determine be justifiable as it would create extremely strong and light weight skin conductance. GSR is known to be one of the most prominent components to assemble my product, and due to its smaller size methods of Biofeedback; this form of biofeedback can help users would be cheap. Injection moulding production cost is calculated by control the release of moisture and develop relaxation techniques. the hourly rate, which is affected by the parts design and the cycle In addition, many sports specialists are able to determine hydration time, leading to a low cost quote. The electronic components status using a simple equation involving sweat loss: include: Wireless RF module, various dedicated sensors, fibre optics, batteries and more. The most expensive component is selling at £20, Sweat loss = (weight before – weight after) + fluid intake – toilet being the Galvanic Skin Response sensor or the GSR, the cheapest losses component is priced at £0.43 being the lithium-ion battery. Altogether I have set the market price for my device at £80+. Using sweat patches to determine hydration levels, GSR is capable to determining Skin conductance through how sweater the user is, All components using this equation, one is capable of determining the skin hydration Many of my components are sensors, including the GSR, Skin status. temperature sensor, UV light sensor, Pulse sensor and accelerometer. Skin temperature sensor YSI400 model is a model used by many medical professional in the UK and around the world, GA1A2S100SS UV Light sensor is a selected sensor from the successful electronics brand Sharp. Following the successful online campaign of pulse reader on kick-starter site, I will be using the pulse sensor. The Skin temperature, light and pulse sensors measures as the name suggests their respective field, but there is an odd component. The GSR, Galvanic Skin Response, is a method of

END-USER VALIDATION
The MIE-Trakr management device has received mostly positive the management kit at the start, he feels that actual remedies would commendations with some constructive criticism from end-users and benefit him more than the actual device, “I get why you changed it specialists in associated fields. End users likes Josh Briars, Beatrice to the device, but it’s sad because the cooling sleeve was something Holzer and Matthew White have giving glowing praises. Beatrice that was just amazing and what I really needed, but I get that a Holzer was strongly supporting the management kit before the cooling sleeve won’t help every other person so, but I think the changes as she does not have an strong grasp or remedies to help device is really neat, especially the live updating feature” her during a migraine attack, she was initially hesitant on the idea of MIE-Trakr device but very quickly warmed to it and became a Not all the end-users were so positive about the device, Fiona staunch supporter “I wasn’t so sure at first, a device that I carry Hailstone, has been suffering from migraines since her youth.

But if you’re telling me this device can predict when a migraine where lack of sleep and hydration leads to his attacks, in migraine is coming then I remain optimistic because there nothing his own words “Yeah I’m loving this device, 200%, really it’s pretty worse than a migraine coming and it’s too late to do anything.” handy. Honestly, I work on the computer for a long stretch of time and I don’t take a break so I’ll forget to drink water or something, and then I’ll get a migraine later, but this device could remind me to so that’s cool.” Matthew did offer one thought I did take note of, “The thing is, it’s all good the light glows, but I’m worried if I’m focused too much on my work and I don’t notice the glow, I’ll be back in square one, could you add a vibrant alarm or something?”

EXPERT VALIDATION
After gathering comments and opinions of the end-users, I went to more work and a little more focus on the electrical components and the specialists that I have consulted throughout my project. There is how they work together. There is an opportunity. The Samsung Gear Dr. Fayyaz Ahmed (neurology specialist), Dr Mokhtar Nibouche is almost like a proof of concept, you know, the technology exists (specialist in electronic communication technology) and Dr Tim Cox and it just needs someone to actually jump on it.” (specialist in bio-sensing technologies). Dr Fayyaz Ahmed was somewhat glad with the new direction of the project, after having Dr Tim Cox was also very enthusiastic about the device and offered some criticisms with a relieving device and some of the other great advice on the technology and sensors to use, “I’ve made it efficacy-in-application issues with the other designs, “I like the clear in the beginning, I did think 8 sensors would be a bit ambitious progress you’ve made, and I like how you’ve taken what I said if not over-reaching, but now you’ve reduced that number down, the before on board, prevention is best medicine, in all honesty, there is device functionality seems more realistic now. But I have to some applicable potential in some of the sensors but I must ask if it emphasis the great potential this little device has in store…” “I do is possible for you to include a screen, just so I could see all the however wish to push the notion, I see you are going for the live values. There is a certain level of precision a screen can make update feature, I think if you could replace that with a continuous instead of lights” he also commented on the possible future for this update instead. A user could go around all day with the lights being product, “I can imagine a GP providing patients with something green and when one turns red, make adjustments straight away.” similar to keep track of different things. Then the GP can take a look at it when the patient comes in and have a quicker understanding of the ailment. The issue is that will need a whole infrastructure to be made within the NHS, which is a bit much. And the precision, I’m wary about getting accurate readings.”
Dr. Mokhtar Nibouche interested with the device and its premise. He believes that the device could be made commercially, he had this to say, “There are many parallels between your design and the Samsung Gear. In terms of producing it in actuality, it needs a bit

CONCLUSIONS
A migraine is an underappreciated medical condition that has status instantly anytime; I would like to have been able to research incapacitating effects on sufferers; this project began research and how the device could implement a continuous updating feature, to development into creating a multi-purpose migraine management instantly notify a user when a particular level is low. However, by the kit to help remedy the effects of the condition. Upon further research end of the project, I am pleased with the results I have achieved and and interviews with end-users who suffer from the condition and developing the MIE-Trakr Management Device, I have received specialists, I turned away from the initial concept and headed overwhelming positive feedback from end-users and specialists towards a portable, electronic device that monitors user’s status, to alike, this is a device that has the potential to manage triggers of indicate when a migraine may occur and how the user can take steps migraines from occurring and could even be a viable product if to prevent one from occurring. I found several sensors that are developed and released commercially. A commercial avenue to visit, relevant to monitor the user’s health and predicting a migraine, for could be a live bio-sensing device that helps with ‘human example, according to the research low quality and lackof sleep has optimisation’ through helping the user through all-day-to-day tasks. shown to attribute increase chances of a migraine attack, an accelerometer in the MIE-Trakr device can assess whether a user had a sufficient quality of sleep. The MIE-Trakr device assesses bio-levels like heart rate and body hydration and environmental levels like light intensity; it was during the interviews, certain end-users have shown that a device that warns them when certain health levels are low would make a big difference. By the end of the project, I am pleased with the end-product and the results from research and development of it; however, there are room for improvements and areas I wished I could visit to study deeper. If more time was available, I would allocate certain amount of time to studying the sensors more in-depth and see how other sensors could help in preventing a migraine. In addition, the Mie-Trackr device mostly works on a live update basis, where a user can check their
