Vestibular dysfunction is a common cause of dizziness and a leading cause of medical visits. Yet, current assessment methods of dizziness remain largely subjective, relying on self-reports and intermittent clinical evaluations that lack real-time monitoring, quantitative precision, and preventive capability....

No actionable change — this proof-of-concept study demonstrates feasibility only; the platform requires clinical validation before it could influence vestibular assessment practice.

Objective, wearable quantification of motion-induced dizziness could fundamentally improve diagnosis and monitoring of vestibular disorders, reducing reliance on subjective symptom scales.

1. 01Proof-of-concept multimodal wearable platform designed to objectively measure motion-induced dizziness.
2. 02Targets vestibular dysfunction, where subjective dizziness reporting is a major diagnostic limitation.
3. 03Uses multiple simultaneous sensor modalities for richer physiological data capture.
4. 04Published in Scientific Reports; early-stage feasibility study.
5. 05Could eventually support remote monitoring and more precise vestibular rehabilitation tracking.
