Vertigo Episode Tracker (Dizziness Monitor)

Title: Vertigo Episode Tracker (Dizziness Monitor) Description: Vertigo is a sensation of spinning or movement when you're actually stationary, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, balance problems, and sweating, caused by various conditions affecting the inner ear or brain such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniere's disease, or vestibular migraines, severely disrupting daily activities like driving, working, or even walking safely. An estimated 40% of people will experience vertigo at some point in their lives, with millions suffering from recurring episodes that can last seconds to hours or even days, significantly impacting their ability to work, care for family, or maintain independence due to fear of sudden disabling attacks. Currently, no specialized apps exist to help vertigo sufferers track their episodes in detail, identify positional triggers or other contributing factors, monitor which treatments or maneuvers like the Epley procedure provide relief, or document patterns that help differentiate between various vestibular conditions requiring different treatment approaches.

People need an app that logs each vertigo episode with severity, duration, and associated symptoms like nausea or hearing changes, tracks potential triggers including head positions, movements, foods, stress levels, sleep quality, weather changes, and menstrual cycles, records which interventions provide relief such as repositioning maneuvers, medications, or rest, monitors daily balance and stability between episodes, and generates detailed reports that help ENT specialists or neurologists diagnose the specific type of vertigo and determine whether current treatments are preventing episodes or reducing their severity over time.

This is a strong business opportunity because the vertigo community includes millions of desperate sufferers whose lives are severely restricted by unpredictable disabling episodes, patients are highly motivated to identify triggers and find preventive strategies given the debilitating nature of attacks that can strike without warning, the market is accessible through online support groups where people share coping strategies and seek solutions, people would readily pay for tools that might reduce episode frequency or help them regain confidence in daily activities, and the complexity of differentiating between various vestibular conditions makes detailed tracking valuable not just for patients but also for healthcare providers who often struggle to diagnose and treat vertigo effectively based on patient recall alone.
