In this episode, join me for an extremely educational conversation with renowned neurologist and headache specialist, Dr. Alan Rapoport, a clinical professor of neurology at UCLA. Dr. Rapoport educates listeners about various headache disorders, including migraines, tension-type headaches, and cluster headaches. Dr. Rapoport discusses the complexities, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for these conditions, highlighting emerging technologies. The discussion also covers Bontriage, a platform co-founded by Dr. Rapoport, which leverages AI for headache diagnosis and improving patient outcomes. Dr. Rapoport walks us through an extremely helpful headache assessment available on his website for patients to chronicle their headache histories to bring to their doctors, therefore maximizing time in the exam room.
