Device, method, and computer program for self-diagnosis and treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device, a method, and a computer program for self-diagnosis and treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, which is for, when a benign paroxysmal positionalvertigo patient develops a symptom, quickly and accurately diagnosing the symptom without a temporal or spatial constraint, and presenting an optimal treatment method, so as to allow the patient to receive appropriate treatment. The present invention is effective in not only immediate treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, but also reducing medical expenses and additional social costsgenerated due to treatment of dizziness.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device, method and computer program for self-diagnosis and treatment. More specifically, it relates to a self-diagnosis and treatment device, method and computer program for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), which is used to immediately and accurately diagnose these symptoms and present the best approach to management to allow patients to receive appropriate treatment. Background technique [0002] Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a disorder in which a sudden severe rotational dizziness occurs when the position of the head changes, such as when lying down or getting up, or turning the head while lying down. [0003] In BPPV, the severe spinning sensation of dizziness disappears within three minutes when sitting still or lying down without changing the position of the head, but the dizziness reappears when the head is moved. [0004] According to national and international studies, BPPV is th...

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, for the diagnosis and appropriate treatment of BPPV, patients themselves need to go to a hospital with proper medical equipment and medical personnel, which makes the immediate diagnosis and prescription of BPPV difficult

[0009] Although attempts have been made recently to provide self-diagnosis or treatment services for some diseases using webpages, etc., it is difficult to perform accurate diagnosis and treatment of BPPV using webpages, etc., because BPPV requires medical equipment, etc. for diagnosis

[0010] Therefore, in the current medical system, there is still a shortcoming that although the patient feels uncomfortable due to the severe dizziness caused by BPPV, the patient needs to go to the hospital with medical personnel and medical equipment for diagnosis and treatment, so instant and accurate Diagnosis and treatment remain difficult unless the patient goes to the hospital on their own, and due to the high recurrence rate, a considerable amount of cost may be recurring for diagnosis and treatment
