上海交通大学医学院附属新华医院神经外科主任李世亭提到过,“不管什么头痛,都是有原因的,如果不把头痛当回事,会把真正的疾病掩盖掉,甚至有时候会延误重大疾病,导致非常不好的结果,甚至危及生命”。 对于医生而言,“见了头痛的病人,医生也头痛”。其原因就是因为头痛太复杂了。诊断头痛的病人,需要医生的经验,更需要患者详细的描述。患者提供的信息越准确,越会帮助医生很快捕捉重要信息,可以早期诊断。 ⌜头痛日记⌟是一款免费且无广告的app,目的在于帮助记录头痛信息并汇总,导出供医生参考。可以随时记录头痛的信息,包括时间,强度,头痛性质,诱因以及头疼位置等20多项信息。App也添加了统计和导出功能,可以导出PDF格式和Excel格式的报告,希望能更有效方便的的帮助头痛的诊断,希望会有所帮助。

You blame your lack of self-control—but it’s not your fault. Some of the world’s smartest engineers work daily to make apps better at playing on our weaknesses, keeping you scrolling and turning your time into ad money.
