Apparatus for collecting information
First Claim
1. An apparatus for collecting information associated with migraines, comprising:
- at least one processor;
at least one memory; and
at least one program module, the program module stored in the memory and configurable to be executed by the processor, the program module including;
instructions for a set of pre-determined questions;
instructions for asking, one or more times during a time interval, a subset of pre-determined questions in the set of pre-determined questions;
instructions for receiving, one or more times during the time interval, answers to the subset of pre-determined questions; and
instructions for receiving configuration instructions, wherein the configuration instructions select the subset of pre-determined questions that are asked.

Abstract
An apparatus, and related method, for collecting information, such as that associated with one or more variables, is described. The apparatus may include at least one processor, at least one memory, and at least one program module. The program module may be stored in the memory and may be configurable to be executed by the processor. The program module may include instructions for a set of pre-determined questions, instructions for asking, one or more times during a time interval, a subset of pre-determined questions in the set of pre-determined questions, instructions for receiving, one or more times during the time interval, answers to the subset of pre-determined questions, and instructions for receiving configuration instructions. The configuration instructions may select the subset of pre-determined questions that are asked.
