The vertigo recording goggles are a unique system designed to allow a patient the opportunity to use their smart phone in a setting remote from a clinical environment to record their eye movements during an attack of disequilibrium or vertigo. This important data, if collected properly, may allow a physician to better identify why the patient has these episodes of “dizziness”. Video recordings from the goggles may be uploaded to the DizzyDoctor website where additional data about eye tracking and head position stability can be presented along with the sequence of video recordings. The DizzyDoctor system provides a unique opportunity for the patient and physician to view the data and hopefully come to a quicker diagnosis and more focused plan of care.
Ask your Otolaryngologist, Neurologist or other physician who is interested in treating vertiog for more information on how to obtain the DizzyDoctor system.
The inner ear is analogous to an intricate maze that is constantly exchanging signals to and from the brain. The complex anatomy is responsible for what keeps us balanced and allows us to maintain our equilibrium.
Caused by loose debris floating throughout the inner ear, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) can cause acute attacks of vertigo with changes in head position.
/nə'staɡməs/ (noun): rhythmic, involuntary movement of the eyes. Nystagmus is a key diagnostic feature in diagnosing the cause of a patient’s dizziness. There are many different types of nystagmus and each is associated with its own pathology.
There are many different pathologies that can cause a patient to feel dizzy and each one requires a different form of treatment or plan of care. While some of their symptoms may overlap, there are also some important differences between each of these disorders.
“The DizzyDoctor system has allowed me and my patients to work together to improve their quality of life by helping me make accurate diagnoses and providing the best treatment strategy possible. Now if a patient has an episode of vertigo away from my Neurology practice, they can present their eye movement recordings to me at their clinic follow up. I use this valuable data to help me decide what is causing their vertiginous episodes.”

“The DizzyDoctor system has allowed me to connect with multiple patients while they are experiencing symptoms of vertigo. This system has greatly enhanced my ability to relay important information to my physician team to help better diagnose their dizzy patients. Because of its unique and accessible technology, I have been able to provide my patients with a higher quality of medical care”

“The DizzyDoctor System was designed to provide treating clinicians with diagnostic information about the patient with episodic vertigo when they are remote from the clinic environment. I use the eye movement recordings collected remotely by my symptomatic patients in my decision to hone in on my working differential diagnosis of BPPV, Menieres Disease, Migraine Vertigo, or Cardiogenic/Cardiovascular etiologies. I feel this has been one of the most important diagnostic breakthroughs available for the dizzy patient in the last ten years.”
