A medical device the size of a bar of soap may one day help doctors treat patients suffering from dizziness and vertigo more effectively. Those balance issues, which affect at least 20 percent of the population at some point in their lives, are often the result of inner ear, spinal posture, or brain problems.
Three computer-science students at the University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania have now developed a piece of wearable tech that doctors could use to detect such inner-ear conditions, but also to track Parkinson’s disease.
