| ENTy - polished and highly practical hardware solution for tracking posture, helping with diagnosis and possibly treatment of diseases that affect balance | ||
| Invention discription | ||
| ENTy (the ENT stands for ear, nose, and throat — not the sentient trees) is a device and app that monitor balance and posture in real time, meant to help doctors diagnose and check up on inner ear problems like vertigo. The patient straps on a device the size of a pack of cigarettes to the small of their back, and a set of sensors sends data to an associated app. There’s a real-time readout of position, and you can see that over time as well for a test that requires a patient to stand straight for 20 seconds with their eyes closed.
