Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Identification of nystagmus data from the device using a computer algorithm; data is collected during the 30 days wearing the device

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Safety events assessed using adverse event (AE) reporting on Day 5, Day 15, Day 33 2. Health economics measured using a bespoke health economic questionnaire, Social life & Work Impact of Dizziness (SWID) questionnaire and EQ5D3L on Day 0, Day 5, Day 15, Day 33 3. Average time to first dizzy attack determined using device and diary data collected during the 30 days 4. Device compliance measured using device data collected during the 30 days 5. Patient acceptability measured using a tailored user experience questionnaire on Day 33 or at end of participation if earlier 6. Device malfunctions assessed using device data collected during the 30 days 7. Commercialisation informed using the health economics data (post data collection analysis)
