Tele-(Dizzy) Medicine: From Eye Movements to Diagnosis

Sponsored by the Department of Neurology and Brain Sciences and the Healthcare Affinity

Experts in dizziness use eye movements to diagnose patients with vestibular disorders, but, unfortunately, there are very few subspecialists in the country. Technological advances in portable video-oculography equipment have made it possible to record eye movements in the emergency department (ED), which is the basis for a novel 'Tele-Dizzy' consultation service in the Johns Hopkins Hospital ED. We have been able to demonstrate that a 'Tele-Dizzy' service is able to reliably, inexpensively, and quickly distinguish ear and brain etiologies of dizziness and vertigo, and the Johns Hopkins approach to remote dizzy consultation will be discussed in this webinar.
