Healing Vertigo 2.0

Healing Vertigo is an interactive application designed to assist individuals experiencing vertigo related to Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). The app offers a guided home assessment to distinguish the specific type of BPPV and suggests appropriate treatment strategies, aiming to reduce uncertainty and facilitate effective management.

Members of the clinical community might find it useful to perform a simple screening quiz, which evaluates symptoms such as dizziness upon rising from bed, rolling over, rapid head movements, looking upward, or bending forward. Affirmative responses may indicate a higher likelihood of BPPV as the underlying cause of vertigo, and the app provides tailored guidance for diagnosis and treatment.

Developed by a licensed Canadian Physiotherapist specializing in vestibular rehabilitation, Healing Vertigo leverages professional expertise to deliver a user-friendly interface. The creation of this application reflects extensive training and practical experience in managing vestibular disorders, with an emphasis on safety and accessibility.

The app operates by guiding users through standard diagnostic tests such as the Dix-Hallpike and Head Roll Test. Through these assessments and a series of targeted questions, it identifies the precise BPPV subtype and recommends corresponding repositioning maneuvers, including Epley, BBQ Roll, Gufoni, Semont’s, and Casani techniques. Throughout the process, educational videos and safety tips are provided to ensure proper execution and minimize risks.

By utilizing Healing Vertigo, users can access reliable and evidence-based guidance without needing to interpret variable online content or ambiguous tutorial videos. The platform aims to bridge the gap between patients and healthcare providers by offering trustworthy information that supports self-management, promotes symptom resolution, and assists individuals in regaining their normal function.
