The greatest clinical advantage of VertiGoggles lies in its unified diagnostic platform. All relevant examinations—including videonystagmography in different head–body positions in space, the various video head impulse tests, additional vestibular function tests for the detection of central vestibular deficits (e.g., skew deviation), as well as a range of oculomotor test procedures—can be performed using a single set of goggles connected to one centralized software solution. The previously necessary switching between different systems is completely eliminated.
In daily clinical practice, these video goggles stand out for their high measurement accuracy, low weight, and robust design. The system fully meets our high clinical requirements in terms of reliability and user friendliness.
Also of note is the high level of precision in scientific applications, such as the recording of antisaccades to identify deficits in inhibition and executive control, as well as the measurement of gap and overlap saccades to determine baseline reaction times and to better understand attentional processes.
