On Thursday, October 24th at 9a PT/11a CT/12p ET, Dr. Kathleen Stross, DPT is going live to discuss the remote treatment of dizziness and imbalance using a novel virtual platform called Vertigenius, a comprehensive and personalized approach to vestibular rehabilitation that empowers patients to effectively engage with their prescribed exercises.
Joining Dr. Stoss to discuss this exciting new platform is Dr. Dara Meldrum, who boasts over 25 years of research experience. With 53 journal publications and 100 conference abstracts, her scholarly impact is evident, notably in high-impact journals like the British Journal of Sports Medicine and the Journal of Neurology. Securing 1.7 million euros in research funding, including from the Health Research Board, she has spearheaded groundbreaking initiatives such as establishing Ireland’s first physiotherapy research post.
Her doctoral research, centered on the integration of technology in balance and dizziness rehabilitation, illuminated the potential of technological solutions in overcoming these challenges. Initially experimenting with off-the-shelf solutions such as Nintendo Wii Fit Plus, Dr. Meldrum swiftly recognized their inherent limitations in catering to the specific requirements of vestibular patients. Fueled by a vision for enhanced exercise delivery and execution, she committed herself to the development of a more tailored and effective system.
The journey culminated in the birth of VERTIGENIUS, a groundbreaking solution poised to revolutionize the treatment of vertigo and other vestibular disorders. Rooted in Dr. Meldrum’s unwavering commitment to delivering individualized care and support, VERTIGENIUS empowers patients to effectively engage with their prescribed exercises. Representing a monumental advancement in the field, VERTIGENIUS offers a comprehensive and personalized approach to vestibular rehabilitation, thereby ushering in a new era of patient-centric care.
