Social media has been combined with pain management in the app Branch Health (formerly Ouchie.) You can post updates on how painful you migraines are in the same way you post to other social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Based on your symptoms you are directed to a community of people who share similar symptoms and may be able to help. You can share as little or as much as you like with the community, created to find migraine treatment through connection with others. The app also offers educational resources to help you better manage your pain through various forms, including controlled behavioral therapy (CBT), and celebrates your accomplishments towards your goals.

I appreciate the pain journey you are able to track on the app and the platform to discuss various pain-related issues but overall it needs improvement in content and ease of use. Additionally, the app initially provides an in-depth questionnaire regarding the details of one’s pain symptoms but misses several physical pain diagnoses which could be added.

I like the concept, I like the 'tap the body' feature, and it is a pretty good pain tracker as far as pain trackers go. Personally, I didn't find it as easy to use as I would have wanted and I was struggling to work out how to use some of the features. I do like the fact that there is a community section though - it's always a plus to be able to connect with real people.

Pros

Good pain tracker Community section

Cons

I didn't find it that easy to navigate.

Ouchie is a nice app that helps you connect to other people who also have pain... I can post updates and see other peoples updates. Generally I think it is nice to have a support group.

Pros

Good idea

Cons

I found it a little bit hard to use.

This app is literally a life saver. I suffer from migraines often and feel alone because i sometimes get too sick to leave the house. The community Ouchie provides me with let’s me know that I’m not alone and there are people to support me and help me through it.

Pros

The sense of community I felt when I was too sick to leave the house made me feel like I wasn’t alone and that I would get through it.

Cons

It has some bugs that causes the app to crash every now and then.
