Rain Free Days: A Migraine App Shaped by Real Experiences

Rain Free Days® is a free migraine support app created by Teva, 11 London, and the migraine community. It helps users track symptoms, spot patterns, and access personalised resources like expert articles, treatment videos, and relaxation tools. Developed with real user insight, it even inspired a migraine-friendly paint palette with Dulux. Supporting people in in 10+ countries, the app continues to evolve through ongoing feedback.

Migraine isn’t just a bad headache. It’s a complex, debilitating neurological condition that can affect someone’s work, relationships and overall quality of life. No two people experience it in the same way, with unique triggers, symptoms and responses to treatment. Supporting people with migraine requires more than clinical support; it calls for personalised, practical tools that adapt to real lives, real needs and real pain.

That’s why Rain Free Days® was created through close collaboration between Teva Pharmaceuticals, 11 London and the migraine community itself. Developed with input from real migraine sufferers and migraine specialists, it offers meaningful, everyday support shaped by those who understand the condition best.

More than tracking: Everyday support that makes a difference

Launched in 2019, the Rain Free Days® app is more than a place to record information. Users can log various elements from migraine frequency, severity, triggers, symptoms, migraine location and medication use. The app turns this data into clear, visual reports that can be shared with doctors to help spot patterns and make informed decisions based on NICE guidelines.

But support goes beyond data. The app also provides trusted resources tailored to the daily realities of living with migraine: curated lifestyle articles written by healthcare professionals and people living with migraine, step-by-step treatment videos, guided relaxation audios and informative podcasts.

Built together: From insight to innovation

Listening to people living with migraine helped us design a tool that reflects the full reality of the condition. One insight that stood out during early co-creation was the role of environment on migraine. People spoke about how colour affects their condition, prompting us to think beyond traditional approaches and explore creative partnerships to address this overlooked trigger. Together with Dulux, the National Migraine Centre and Teva, we carried out a colour survey with over 1,200 people. The results were used by Dulux to develop a migraine-friendly paint palette, designed to support people in creating calming, restorative spaces at home

A growing community of support

Over the last 5 years, features of the app have supported people in over 10 countries who have been prescribed treatment for chronic migraine. It’s available for free on iOS and Android as part of a patient support programme, with access provided via a valid medication batch code, to help people take small but meaningful steps toward better health every day.User feedback, gathered through annual surveys, continues to shape ongoing updates and features and ensures that each Rain Free Days® update remains relevant, useful and truly patient centred.
