Use of a Tablet-Based Mobile Classifier to Diagnose Vestibular Disorders:

In a preprint article by Rye et al. (2026), the feasibility of utilizing a tablet-based screening questionnaire (“mobile classifier”) to diagnose vestibular disorders was studied. Individuals with “vestibular symptoms” were asked to complete a 47-item questionnaire, which took slightly over seven minutes. These individuals also received an otology evaluation. Of note, no formal vestibular testing was completed. The questionnaire responses were used to identify the two most likely diagnoses, which were compared with the diagnoses made by the examining otologist. The mobile classifier agreed with the otologists’ diagnosis 82.1 percent of the time, with 51.2 percent in full agreement and 30.9 percent in partial agreement. The authors of this study suggest that a rule-based classifier administered via questionnaire might aid in the initial screening of patients with vestibular dysfunction.
