Scoping review shows telehealth technology can improve health outcomes in vestibular disorders, indicating potential benefits for users.
= 3). Telehealth technology was found to be accurate in recording oculomotor assessments and nystagmus, delivering canalith repositioning manoeuvres and undertaking outcome assessments. Improvements in health outcomes were demonstrated for subjective dizziness, balance, and oculomotor tests. Users reported telehealth technology to be feasible for remote VR with benefits including increased self-confidence with exercises, improved symptom awareness, and enhanced engagement and motivation for exercises.ConclusionsTelehealth technologies for VR show potential for improved health outcomes, diagnostic accuracy and positive user experience across a range of vestibular disorders. However, evidence for some vestibular disorders and telehealth modalities is limited by small sample sizes and a lack of studies. Further high-quality research is required in these areas.
