APPLICATION FOR SCREENING VESTIBULAR FUNCTIONS WITH COTS COMPONENTS

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed that record quantifiable data for physical exams that assess neurological function. A system includes four main components. First, it employs a flexible and customizable procedure administration and documentation system developed and deployed on a mobile platform to aid in the identification, administration, configuration, and instruction of a suite of procedures for assessing different aspects of vestibular health. Second, it leverages commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware with integrated sensor technology to allow non-vestibular experts to conduct assessment procedures by imposing constraints that ensure accurate and safe administration of VF assessment procedures. Next, it utilizes a gaming engine to both capture patient responses and to enable the accurate visual presentation of required stimuli for each of its assessments. Lastly, it leverages database storage and retrieval to visualize and aggregate data from multiple assessments and over many trials.
