Interventions
Delivery of vestibular rehabilitation through an app on a tablet or other portable device. The app takes patients through their rehabilitation session that has been prescribed by a clinician. Exercises are presented in the forms of games that are controlled by head or torso motion via a motion sensor that is placed on that body part. Data on the motion of the patient are calculated from sensor data and sent over the cloud for the clinician to access remotely.
