Resetting your thresholds back to the start

Sometimes a fresh start is the right thing. Maybe you applied a recalibration you no longer agree with, or your life changed and the old learned numbers do not fit any more.

MigraineMe has a Reset Defaults button that sends your risk thresholds and decay curves back to their starting values. Your history of migraines and your logs are not touched. Only the small numbers the app uses to score your risk are reset.

These steps are the same on iPhone and Android.

What "thresholds" means

Thresholds are the numbers that decide which colour your risk circle shows on the home screen:

1. None is locked at zero. Below the Low threshold the gauge sits quietly with almost no colour.
2. Low, when your risk has crept above the Low threshold (3 by default). The circle is green.
3. Mild, when your risk is above the Mild threshold (5 by default). The circle is orange.
4. High, when your risk is above the High threshold (10 by default). The circle is red.

There are also decay curves, which set how quickly the risk from a past trigger fades over the days that follow. Each curve is seven day-by-day weights, from today back to six days ago.

You do not need to remember any of these numbers. The screen shows them clearly.

Opening the Risk Model screen

1. Open MigraineMe.
2. Tap the gear icon in the top-left of the screen. A drawer slides in from the left.
3. Tap Risk Model.
4. The Risk Model screen opens. You will see two main sections: Gauge Thresholds at the top (four coloured circles labelled None, Low, Mild, High) and Decay Curves underneath (one small bar chart each for HIGH, MILD and LOW).

Resetting to defaults

1. Scroll all the way down on the Risk Model screen.
2. At the bottom, next to the purple Save button, you will see a button labelled Reset Defaults.
3. Tap Reset Defaults.
4. The numbers and bar charts on the screen change back to the starting values straight away.
5. Nothing is saved yet. This is your chance to look at the defaults and decide.

Confirming the reset

1. If you are happy with the defaults, tap the purple Save button.
2. Wait a few seconds. A small green message will appear saying Saved, risk scores recalculated.
3. Your home screen circle will update shortly, using the default thresholds again.

If you tapped Reset Defaults by accident and do not want to save:

1. Tap the back arrow in the top-left to leave the screen without saving.
2. The change is thrown away. Your old numbers are still in place.

What is not reset

1. Your migraine logs. Every migraine you ever logged is still there.
2. Your triggers, medicines, reliefs, symptoms and other pools.
3. Your profile, AI profile and AI companions.
4. Your connections (watch, ring, food apps).
5. Your monitor cards, language and units.

Only the risk-scoring numbers go back to the defaults.

What happens next

After a reset and a save, MigraineMe will start scoring your risk using the default numbers again. The app will quietly start learning from your data once more. The weekly check may then suggest fresh adjustments if it spots new patterns.

If you want to nudge a single number yourself instead of resetting everything, tap any of the coloured circles or any of the bars on the Risk Model screen and type a new value. The reset is just the friendly shortcut for "start over".
