Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common peripheral vestibular disorder, yet its management often varies due to inconsistent maneuver execution and clinician training. Mixed reality offers potential to standardize procedures and enhance user guidance....

No actionable change to current BPPV management practice; this is an early-stage expert opinion study exploring a technology concept, with no validated software or clinical evidence yet produced.
BPPV is one of the most common vestibular disorders treated in audiology and ENT clinics, and technology-assisted standardisation of repositioning maneuvers could reduce variability and improve outcomes at scale.
- 01Qualitative study using expert perspectives to guide mixed-reality software design for BPPV maneuvers.
- 02Aims to standardise execution of repositioning maneuvers (e.g., Epley maneuver) via technology.
- 03No patient outcomes measured; this is a design and conceptual phase study.
- 04Expert consensus may identify key software requirements and barriers to clinical adoption.
- 05Published in Cureus (DOI: 10.7759/cureus.111593).
Mixed-reality software has the potential to standardise BPPV maneuver execution and improve patient management.
