ES1272784
Device for the diagnosis and treatment of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigos (BPPV) in a non-invasive way, and where the device is characterized by being a helmet (C) that is jointly fixed on the head of a patient, and where integrated in the hull structure comprises: an orientation module (1) with a motion and position sensor comprising at least one accelerometer with gyroscope and magnetometer; a display module (2) with a matrix of addressable multi-color LEDs built into the entire surface of the helmet for sequential indication to be executed, a calculation module (3) with a microcontroller and a universal asynchronous transmitter-receiver module (UART), connected by means of wiring integrated in the helmet with the orientation module (1) and receives its data periodically, and connected by means of wiring integrated in the helmet with the representation module (2), monitoring and evaluating the maneuvers carried out; comprising a wireless communication module; and comprising a plurality of data input and output ports; and a communication and power module (4) comprising a power source integrated in the helmet itself and a wireless communication module with external electronic devices (D).

Flexible, cheap and portable system that allows the diagnosis and treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Among the different techniques that allow diagnosing and treating this disease, the most popular are maneuvers performed by specialized medical personnel on the patient's body and head. These maneuvers are difficult to remember and put into practice, because they require high spatial orientation. The system assists the personnel who execute the maneuvers through a system composed of an intelligent helmet that measures the patient's orientation and indicates to the operator the sequence of movements for the execution of the maneuvers, as well as their progress and completion, and an APP in the smartphone that serves as an interface between the smart helmet and the instructions of the personnel who will execute the maneuvers. Currently there are similar equipment that is much more sophisticated, is not portable, requires personnel trained in the management of the system and its price is much higher than that proposed. Portable, flexible, wireless and low-cost guidance system. Guides non-expert personnel in the execution of maneuvers for the diagnosis and treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Simple interface through APP that communicates any Smartphone or Tablet with the system.
