Dizzy Event Monitor
Dizziness can be a difficult condition to diagnose. As most dizziness episodes occur outside of the office, patients can appear normal when they finally get to see the physician. In a joint effort with Dr. Peter Santa Maria at UPMC, we have developed a wearable dizziness event monitor. This project has received several grants and awards.
Survey testing for breadth of vestibular impact
Vestibular disorders are known for causing dizziness and imbalance. They are less appreciated for their significant impact on cognition, emotions, and sense of self. We have teamed up with other academic medical centers to help gauge and characterize how these less-recognized aspects of vestibular disorders affect patients.
Audiologic Research in Vestibular Testing
Audiologic tests of vestibular function have advanced considerably in the last decade, helping practitioners to more accurately assess inner ear function and how that affects brain perception and balance. We currently have multiple projects ongoing looking at the intricacies of testing in certain types of vestibular disorders.
Wearable Device for Balance
We have collaborated with other centers at Stanford for a clinical trial using a novel device to see if it helps treat balance disorders. Please contact us for more information to participate.
Hearing Aids and Fall Risk
People with hearing loss can have a higher risk of falls. Our team has collaborated with an industry leader in cutting-edge hearing aid technology powered by artificial intelligence to provide people with hearing loss opportunities to detect their risk for falls using technologically advanced hearing aids.
