VertiGoggles: An Integrated Solution for Vestibular Assessment

Accurate vestibular assessment plays an important role in evaluating patients with dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders. For hospitals, audiology departments, balance clinics, and rehabilitation centers, having reliable diagnostic equipment that supports multiple examination methods can improve clinical workflow and provide more comprehensive assessment data.

ZEHNIT VertiGoggles is a binocular infrared video goggle system designed to integrate videonystagmography (VNG) and video Head Impulse Testing (vHIT) within one diagnostic platform. By combining eye movement recording, head tracking, and specialized analysis software, it supports a wide range of vestibular and oculomotor examinations.

Integrated VNG and vHIT Testing

One of the key advantages of VertiGoggles is its ability to support both VNG and vHIT assessments using a single set of goggles. The system provides binocular eye recording and 3D tracking of horizontal, vertical, and torsional eye movements, helping clinicians examine different aspects of vestibular function.

Supported examinations include gaze testing, caloric testing, positional tests, Dix-Hallpike testing, video head impulse testing, smooth pursuit, saccades, optokinetic testing, and dynamic visual acuity. Additional functions cover vestibulo-ocular reflex assessment and other advanced oculomotor tests.

This integrated approach allows clinical facilities to conduct multiple examinations without repeatedly switching between separate recording systems.

Practical Design for Clinical Workflows

Designed with everyday clinical use in mind, VertiGoggles features a lightweight structure weighing approximately 97 grams. Its ergonomic design, soft face cushion, and adjustable fit help accommodate different patients, including children.

The system also incorporates light-excluding covers, a programmable LED fixation target, and integrated fans to reduce lens fogging during examinations. USB plug-and-play connectivity simplifies equipment setup and connection.

Test results can include eye and scene videos, nystagmus graphs, and slow-phase velocity (SPV) graphs. Clinicians can review, replay, edit, and export results as branded reports through the integrated software workflow.

Applications in Vestibular and Balance Assessment

The system is suitable for professional environments where comprehensive vestibular evaluation is required, including:

• ENT and neurotology departments

• Audiology and balance clinics

• Neurological assessment centers

• Vestibular rehabilitation facilities

• Clinical research and specialized laboratories

By supporting multiple examination methods and structured result management, the system helps healthcare professionals collect and review relevant eye movement data within a unified workflow.

Choosing an Integrated Vestibular Testing System

When evaluating vestibular diagnostic equipment, healthcare providers should consider test coverage, recording quality, patient comfort, software capabilities, and compatibility with their existing clinical procedures.

ZEHNIT develops vestibular assessment and rehabilitation technologies for professional healthcare applications. Its VertiGoggles platform combines binocular infrared recording, 3D eye and head movement analysis, and a broad range of VNG, vHIT, and oculomotor testing functions.

For clinics and laboratories seeking an integrated approach to vestibular assessment, VertiGoggles vestibular assessment goggles offer a practical option for supporting diverse diagnostic workflows.
