Your body keeps a record of the day before the migraine: the HRV that dropped, the stress that stayed high, the recovery that never came. MigraineMe collects those numbers every morning and tests each one against your attacks.

Koenig et al., Cephalalgia 2016HRV, resting heart rate, recovery score, strain, stress index, steps, time in high heart rate zones, respiratory rate, SpO2 and skin temperature, whichever your device measures. Each one is shown in Monitor under Physical with your attacks laid over it.
Stress does not need a device. Enter a number for the day, or just mention it in the evening check-in and the app records it. Stress high and stress low are triggers in the catalogue like any other.
