Ember for clinicians

Your patient walks in with ninety days of structured history.

Ember is a patient-facing migraine diary built by a practicing headache specialist. Patients log in seconds a day. What reaches you is a one-page calendar and a chart-style note, readable in about a minute.

Provider handoff

Send a patient home with Ember already set up.

The handoff tool runs in your browser and exports a small file or text snippet carrying your defaults and the patient's plan. Nothing uploads anywhere. The patient imports it on first launch, and their medication list is waiting.

The classification engine

Look under the hood.

Every classification follows deterministic ICHD-3 rules. No AI guesses, no black box.

The 90-day calendar

One row per month, one column per day.

Day type, functional impact, medications taken, and menstrual correlation stack under each date. Injection markers land on the exact day given, so wear-off patterns show up right against the grid.

A single month row from the report. Menstrual days marked P, day types M and H and S per date, impact dots, medications taken, and EMG and NER injection markers on their dates.

June. EMG and NER mark injection dates.

The report header: the patient name, the reporting period, and totals for migraine, headache, impacted, and clear days.

Totals up top, at a glance.

The report legend: day types, activity impact, and pain severity keys.

A legend keys every mark.

The chart note

Written like your chart note.

Ember generates the summary from minimal user input, using its fully auditable logic layer. It reports:

  • Diary compliance
  • Monthly frequencies against baseline
  • MIDAS
  • Acute-use counts against overuse thresholds
  • Treatment response per medication

Patients can copy it and send it through your portal.

For review by your provider. Data sourced from patient-reported daily logs. HEADACHE DIARY SUMMARY Apr 9, 2026 – Jul 7, 2026 (90 days) 100% reporting compliance — HIGH DATA CONFIDENCE DATA THIS 90 DAY PERIOD Migraine days: 18/mo → 12/mo (33% reduction) Total HA days: 24/mo → 17/mo (28% reduction) Symptom days: 9 (3/mo) Clear days: 29 Impacted days: 18/mo → 9/mo (50% reduction) Avg severity: 7/10 → 4/10 (43% reduction) MIDAS: 42 → 9 (Grade IV → II) HEMIPLEGIC VARIANT Patient reports 3 attacks with one-sided weakness (hemiplegic variant) in the past 90 days. Dates: Apr 20, May 10, Jun 10. Migraine-specific medications logged during these attacks: Maxalt. The note continues: acute medication use, hormonal pattern, treatment response.

Where the data comes from

Quick daily check-ins take 10 to 20 seconds.

Severity, symptoms, medications, and impact are tap targets on one screen. Ember classifies each day from what was logged, based on programmed ICHD-3 criteria, and displays its reasoning.

Reporting compliance is printed on the chart note output, so you know how much weight the data deserves before you read further.

Safety flags

Nonjudgmental warning flags.

Acute days are counted per medication against overuse thresholds. Patients see a gentle nudge first, then a firmer warning, and the chart note carries a risk-flag section when a month crosses the line.

Attacks with unilateral weakness are called out in the generated chart note as well.

Treatment response

Baselines are captured before treatment starts.

When a patient begins any preventive treatment, Ember captures the baseline first, before it takes effect. For patients on multiple preventives, it reports the response each one has on its own, and combined.

That can help you make the case to payers for reauthorizations or prior authorizations, or give you the data to make clinically sound decisions about switching or discontinuing a regimen.

It reports what they logged. Nothing more.

Health data lives on the patient's phone, with no cloud database behind the app. Every value on the report traces to a dated entry, with no AI and no inferences.
