VertiGuide is made for clinicians to quickly access actionable educational guides and resources to aid in the decision-making process across specialties. The app's researchers designed VertiGuide to address some of the challenges associated with the appropriate diagnosis and care of patients with vertigo and dizziness, by organizing diagnostic evidence into an easy-to-follow series of decision nodes that are based on published guidelines. This straightforward layout helps users to appropriately identify benign vertigo with the right diagnostic tests and treatments. Combined with instructional videos for clinicians new to diagnosing the cause of dizziness and a pull-down resource menu for immediate refreshers on how to do a particular maneuver, the app’s algorithm places evidence to recognize a central cause of vertigo that needs urgent attention right at the clinician’s fingertips.
