På Migränhjälpen ser vi till att fler personer med svår huvudvärk och migrän ges möjlighet till adekvat utredning och behandling. Vi startade år 2020 och kom att bli världens första digitala vårdtjänst specialiserad på migrän och har sedan dess tagit emot fler än 7 000 patienter. Vi är ett expansivt och entreprenöriellt företag som organisatoriskt sett är långt ifrån den typiska vårdgivaren. Hos oss är strukturen platt och beslutsvägarna korta så varje medarbetare både kan och förväntas komma med förslag som implementeras. Teamet på Migränhjälpen består idag av tjugo deltidsanställda neurologer och sjutton övriga medarbetare, som antingen arbetar på distans eller på något av våra kontor i Jönköping och i Stockholm. Utöver den digitala specialistvårdtjänsten för migrän driver vi även en neurologmottagning i Solna dit vi på uppdrag av Region Stockholm tar emot patienter som remitterats för neurologisk specialistvård.

We do so by providing an initial assessment and support for further investigation, but also advice on brain health and how to reduce the risk of impaired cognition. We strengthen healthcare with better tools for higher quality, more equal care and by ensuring that health care resources are used in a more optimal way. In the long term, we want to limit the suffering cognitive diseases result in for patients, relatives, healthcare and society at large.
