Do you seem to always get headaches or chronic pain when it is raining? Your maladies are likely caused by variation in atmospheric pressure. These triggers can be: high and low pressure, & increasing and decreasing pressure.
The app collects pressure forecast based on your device’s location powered by Forecast.io. The forecast is analyzed for possible pressure triggers. If a trigger is detected, you will be notified when that dangerous condition will occur.

Ideally, you can be preventive and not reactive to your pains. Try methods that are effective in your own personal history such as medication, relaxation, and reduction of light, sound, & stress.)

Additionally, you can record when headaches occur and adjust the trigger points to adapt the app to your personal triggers. These headaches will be displayed in a list on the Headaches Screen and in a graph on the Trends Screen. For each headache on the list, the pressure and change in pressure will be colored either red or blue if the headache was during a high or low trigger. On the graph, the a blue dot will appear for each headache; and you can evaluate if you see a graphical trend. Under the graph are the trigger limits. The default settings is the statistically calculated 0.3% extremes of the four triggers. You should adjust these limits based on what triggers help you most.
