About Headache Log: Chiari Companion
Headache Log: Chiari Companion is a record-keeping journal for iPhone aimed at people living with Chiari malformation and their carers. It records daily check-ins covering headache, neck pain, dizziness, tiredness and brain fog, individual headache episodes logged with severity, how long they lasted, body position, pain location and triggers such as coughing, sneezing, straining and lifting, plus medications with reminders and dose records.
It also stores imaging reports, clinic notes, surgery milestones and questions for the next appointment, and compares the last 7 or 14 days with the previous period to show recorded patterns. Optional local barometer samples add pressure context without location tracking, and a clinician-ready PDF summary can be shared when you choose.
The journal stays on the phone with no account system, analytics or servers, and the listing states it is not medical advice and does not diagnose or detect emergencies. Pattern insights and PDF visit summaries need an optional Chiari Pro subscription.
