Abstract
Abstract
Headaches, particularly migraines, present a significant health challenge. Many individuals, especially students, suffer from frequent headaches that adversely affect their daily lives and academic performance. Neuro Care addresses this issue by offering a non-pharmacological treatment option through a smart helmet designed to provide headache massage therapy. The system’s goal is to improve headache sufferers’ quality of life by providing a practical, efficient substitute for conventional therapies. Neuro Care is a stylish, intuitive wearable gadget featuring cutting-edge neurostimulation and sensor technology. Its main purpose is to provide focused neurostimulation and relaxation therapy to relieve headache symptoms, such as tension headaches and migraines. Wearing the device around the forehead allows it to efficiently provide therapeutic vibrations and pulses to relieve the troubled area.
Keywords: Headache, migraine, massage therapy, mobile application, wearable technology
