Why SmartVertigo?
A mini vestibular lab in the palm of your hand.
AIAI-guided nystagmus classification
From capture to canal-specific classification in under 60 seconds at the point of care. All diagnostic and therapeutic decisions remain with the treating clinician.
RapidRapid workflow
Streamlined workflows. From patient presentation to a documented recording in minutes.
CostA fraction of legacy VNG
Traditional infrared VNG goggles run $3,000 to $50,000+. SmartVertigo® uses the device already in your pocket, paired with a proprietary headset and intelligent app.
SpecialistSpecialist-level capture
Capture horizontal, vertical, and torsional nystagmus in high resolution. Replay at regular or slow speed to confirm subtle findings.
4K ColorFull-color eye video
Unlike infrared VOG’s black-and-white video, SmartVertigo® captures full-color video, which may reveal subtle findings, such as vessel movement, that infrared cannot show.
POCPoint Of Care
Fits in a small light carry case. Evaluation and treatment anywhere, anytime.

SmartVertigo® AI-Guided Assistance
Are you ready for AI copilot to assist you?
Classify → Suggest location → Present maneuver options
Step 1 — ClassifyIdentify the pattern
Identifies the nystagmus pattern — upbeat torsional, left horizontal, and others — using a machine-learning model trained on tens of thousands of clinical data points.
Step 2 — LocalizeSuggest the likely canal
Suggests the likely affected otolith location from the classified nystagmus pattern, for the clinician to consider.
Step 3 — InformPresent the maneuver options
Presents the repositioning maneuvers associated with that classification — Epley, Gufoni, or Reverse Semont — for the treating clinician to select from.
Clinical decision-making
1. Diagnostic classifications. All diagnostic classifications are made by the treating clinician. SmartVertigo® provides AI-guided assistance for nystagmus classification, based on the classification of vestibular signs and examination techniques set out in the Bárány Society consensus document.1
2. Therapeutic decisions. All therapeutic decisions are made by the treating clinician. SmartVertigo® provides an algorithmic formula that may be used to assist the treating clinician in selecting the optimal therapeutic maneuver. This formula is based on industry-standard maneuver selection and on the diagnostic classifications described in section 1.
All decisions, whether diagnostic or therapeutic, remain the ultimate responsibility of the treating clinician.

The Value Proposition
Close the vestibular assessment gap.
Easily reproducible 3-step process.
SmartVertigo® empowers every clinician — not just the specialist — to objectively capture, classify and document nystagmus with confidence. By combining high-fidelity nystagmus capture with intuitive clinical guidance, we replace the complicated, bulky, expensive vestibular lab with one portable self-contained system. Best of all, you can learn to use it in minutes.
Point-of-Care Recording
Close-up eye-movement video, captured during positional testing.
Recorded through the SmartVertigo® headset for clinician review, playback, and documentation.
Built for the Clinicians Who See Vertigo First
Built for the clinicians who see vertigo first.
Whether you’re managing a busy emergency department, running a vestibular PT practice, or evaluating a neurology consultation in the hospital, SmartVertigo® delivers the objective evidence efficiently.
See What a CT Can’t.
Dizziness is vague. SmartVertigo® isn’t. 35% of ED dizziness patients receive brain imaging⁵ — and 93.1% of those scans come back unremarkable.⁶ Bedside nystagmus recording turns medicine’s most ambiguous presentation into objective, reproducible, documented data. Results within minutes. Once BPPV is confirmed, SmartVertigo® suggests the likely repositioning maneuver — so you’re not relying on memory alone.

BPPV, Simplified.
BPPV demands you remember positions, nystagmus patterns, and canal classification. SmartVertigo® handles all of it — guiding you through every step. Confirms the canal. Walks you through the treatment maneuver. No guessing, no reference chart.

Central vs. Peripheral — Decided at the Bedside.
In stroke evaluation, speed is everything — and dizziness remains one of the hardest presentations to call when deciding on administering thrombolytics. SmartVertigo® puts objective, documented nystagmus recording in your hands at the bedside. Faster decisions. A defensible record every time.

The Mobile Concierge Practice Advantage.
This mini vestibular lab fits in a small, light portable case — so it goes with you. For the mobile PT, or the concierge clinician performing an in-home visit, SmartVertigo® unlocks a category of care that was previously impossible outside a hospital or specialty clinic.
The entire system — headset, smartphone interface, and proprietary app — fits into a single durable travel case. One operator. No infrastructure required at the point of delivery.
- Frail & elderly patients: eliminate transport risk and bring the test to them.
- EMR-ready documentation: instant PDF report sent directly into the patient’s chart from the field.
- SmartVertigo® Field Kit — Single-Operator · No Setup · In-Home Ready.
The SmartVertigo® Advantage
Beyond the assessment.
An assessment device is only as valuable as the workflow around it. SmartVertigo® is built end-to-end to translate clinical observations into documentation, billing, longitudinal care, and patient engagement.
Slow-Motion Replay
Replay at variable speeds to confirm what the naked eye misses.
Longitudinal Tracking
A true clinical timeline. Every visit recorded and accessible on the VertigoDx portal — canal involvement, treatment response, and recurrence, all in one place.
Instant EMR-Ready PDF
Export comprehensive, formatted reports directly into the chart — no copying, no transcription, no missing documentation. Less time on charts. More time on patients.
Defensible Billing Evidence
Captured eye-movement sequences serve as objective data supporting applicable CPT vestibular function and repositioning codes — including evaluation codes 97161-3, re-evaluation codes 97164, neuromuscular codes 97112, therapeutic activities 97530, and canalith repositioning 95992.*
Patient Education Tool
Let patients see what you see. Showing real nystagmus footage turns a confusing diagnosis into something patients can understand, follow, and trust.
Medicolegal Documentation
A contemporaneous, reproducible record that objectively corroborates every clinical decision.
Everything the infrared goggle does, plus five things it can’t — at a fraction of the cost.
