Mobile Migraine App Shake-Up Announced Amid American Headache Society Scientific Meeting
CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SensorRX, Inc., a leading provider of patient generated health data (PGHD), has agreed to terms to acquire Welltodo, LLC, developer of the iPhone application Migraine Coach™ for an undisclosed cash and stock deal.
St. Louis-based Welltodo broke new ground in early 2015 with Migraine Coach, a migraine management application for consumers. Migraine Coach is a global leader with its iterative design principles and advanced algorithmic approach to tracking debilitating migraine headaches. Migraine Coach originally received financial support from Kansas City-based Digital Sandbox KC and was a member of ITEN in Saint Louis, MO.
“This is a win for migraine and chronic disease sufferers alike,” said Chris Cardinal, Co-Founder and CEO of Welltodo. “SensorRX’s partnerships with healthcare systems, resources and talented leadership will move us toward our ultimate goal of leveraging data and technology to reduce the burden that chronic disease places on individuals’ lives and on business’ bottom line.”
SensorRX is the producer of the mobile app MigrnX™, a migraine tracking system that integrates with leading enterprise electronic health record (EHR) vendor systems to improve patient care. MigrnX was released in 2017 for the iPhone and Android and developed with assistance from the Texas Medical Center Innovation Institute’s accelerator program (TMCx) and tested within Carolinas Healthcare (now Atrium Health). Migraine Coach users will be integrated into MigrnX™ immediately.
“We are excited to complete this acquisition soon and support the transition of Migraine Coach users,” said SensorRX CEO Tripp Winn. “It’s amazing what Chris Cardinal built with his team. This level of experience and leadership will be a great addition to the SensorRX organization.”
Migraine headaches are the 3rd most prevalent illness in the world and affect 12% of the population, according to the Migraine Research Foundation. Every 10 seconds a patient visits a U.S. emergency room, ranking migraines among the top five reasons for ER visits. Treatment costs more than $5.4 billion per year.
