Unique Technology for Diagnosing Vestibular Function Disorders
From: Medical Design Technology - 01/03/2017

Researchers of Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) and Lithuanian
University of Health Sciences (LSMU) have joined forces developing technology
for vestibular system disorders diagnosis and research. This is the first
portable diagnosis technology using virtual reality.

An innovative technology developed by the research team of KTU and LSMU
universities is a convenient, inexpensive portable device that allows simple
diagnosis of dizziness. The device, the Myo armband, is controlled by hand
movements based on Samsung Gear VR hardware.

The innovative technology is now being tested with healthy volunteers. The
next step will be testing it with patients, which will take place in the
nearest future.
