DESCRIPTION:VRtigo: A Virtual Reality–Based Tool for Objective Assessment 
 of Vestibular and Cerebellar Function in Acute Vertigo”\n\nSudden onset v
 ertigo\, a sense of movement or spinning\, is a condition that people oft
 en present with in acute care settings like hospital emergency department
 s. Currently\, it is difficult for doctors and nurses to distinguish clin
 ically between vertigo caused by peripheral vestibular disorders (a probl
 em involving the inner ear or vestibular nerve) and vertigo caused by str
 oke (a medical emergency)\, and many patients are kept in the hospital fo
 r long evaluations and costly imaging such as MRI to ensure patient safet
 y. We have developed a virtual reality (VR)–based battery of tests design
 ed for rapid assessment of vestibular and cerebellar function at the poin
 t of care. In this talk\, I will describe our system and present prelimin
 ary findings to demonstrate the type of data we are able to collect with 
 our system. I will then describe future plans and present lessons learned
  while developing a VR system for medical diagnoses.\n\nTo Register: http
