Summary

This study tested whether a smartphone app can accurately measure how well your eyes stay focused when you move your head—a key function of the inner ear's balance system. Researchers compared the app's results to a standard, expensive device in 35 adults with and without balance problems. The goal is to provide a low-cost, accessible way to diagnose vestibular disorders, especially in areas with limited resources.
