Observational study shows TiTrATEapp improves vertigo diagnosis speed, indicating enhanced clinical decision-making.
Introduction: Vertigo is defined as the distortion in the sensation of self-movement when a normal movement of the head is made, for its study the TiTrATE approach is recommended for the general practitioner, which determines the moment of onset, duration, evolution and triggers of vertigo for its study and categorization accurately. Objective: to create a progressive web application (PWA) called TiTrATEapp, Method: Prospective, observational, longitudinal study. Result: creation of a progressive web application (PWA) called TiTrATEapp, based on the TiTrATE algorithm, comparing the calculation time of the application of the algorithm manually and digitally, resulting in the digital application being faster and more efficient. Discussion: Vertigo is a difficult symptom to decipher in the emergency room, due to the subjective description of patients and the wide variety of probable causes, the digitization of TiTrATE allows to rule out potentially dangerous causes, quickly, accurately. At present there are no studies that measure the effectiveness of mobile applications for the study of vertigo. Conclusion: Mobile applications are an objective tool that helps health professionals diagnose and make clinical decisions in a practical way based on scientific evidence, the digitalization of TiTrATE allows resident doctors to make an accurate diagnosis quickly and guide the patient's referral to the correct specialty and resource efficiency.
