The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $611,576 Project Grant (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) to Ubitrix International Inc. to develop an mHealth application called MVOR. The MVOR app will enable self-administered clinical assessment of gaze stability and provide telerehabilitation services for patients with vestibular dysfunction. The app will utilize the smartphone's front camera and microphone, along with computer vision algorithms, to objectively track head and eye movements and visual acuity during a standardized Gaze Stabilization Test protocol. This will allow patients to undergo vestibular rehabilitation at home while providing clinicians with quantitative data to monitor progress. The grant period runs from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2026 and aims to ultimately study the usability, feasibility, and validity of the MVOR app in supporting home-based vestibular rehabilitation for patients.
