02 · The status quo
BPPV is the most common cause of vertigo, and the least well‑served. Patients wait weeks for a 90‑second maneuver that a clinician can do in their sleep.

03 · The device
A sensor, a speaker, a headband.
No screens. No fluff. The band senses, the app guides. Together they run the session, verify the stage, and log the result. The electronics are simple on purpose.
Every maneuver has four phases. VertiBand knows which one you are in.
The Epley is a sequence of head positions, each held for 30 to 60 seconds. Get the angle wrong, skip a stage, or rush the wait, and it will not work. So we built a sensor that checks your work.
01 · Sense
Measure.
The IMU samples head orientation 100 times a second. Sensor fusion resolves it to within 1.9 degrees of truth.
02 · Cue
Guide.
A calm voice tells you the next position. Soft tones nudge you if you drift. The device waits until you are truly still to advance.
03 · Verify
Check.
Each stage transition requires a 94 percent confidence match against the reference trajectory before unlocking.
04 · Learn
Adapt.
Your session data trains the companion app to your specific vertigo pattern, so cues get sharper every run.
05 · The alternatives
The clinic gets it right. Everyone else guesses. VertiBand changes the math at home.

06 · The companion app
The brain of the band.
The app is where VertiBand thinks. It pairs, configures, runs the session, logs every angle, every stage, every session. Without it, the band is just a sensor. With it, you get therapy that gets smarter every run.

07 · Evidence
Grounded in the physics of the maneuver. Measured, logged, verified.
Measurement
1.9° mean angle error
Sensor‑fused orientation from a 9‑axis IMU at 100 Hz, cross‑validated against a reference inclinometer across hundreds of logged self‑trials.
Method
Closed‑loop stage verification
Each Epley stage unlocks only when head orientation matches the reference trajectory within tolerance for a sustained hold. No skipping. No guessing. No advancing on vibes.
Open
Every session is a data point
A structured JSON log of every angle, every stage, every session ships with every device. Your recovery trajectory is yours to inspect or share with your physician.
08 · Quiet reception
"The hardest part of treating BPPV at home isn't the maneuver itself. It's knowing you did it right. A device that answers that is overdue."
— Dr. M. Alvarez, Vestibular Physiotherapist · Consulting reviewer
"We built VertiBand because my mother waited six weeks for a 90-second procedure."
Tanmay · Co-founder
"Closed-loop feedback is what separates a tool from a toy. The Epley deserved one."

09 · The team
Two builders. One problem worth solving.
We started VertiBand after watching someone close to us fight vertigo alone for weeks. The maneuver that fixes it takes ninety seconds. Getting it right without help is the hard part. So we built the help.

Leads the session engine, the companion app, and the real‑time AI coaching layer. Turns sensor noise into verifiable stages and calm voice cues. Cares a lot about making rigor feel weightless.

Leads the sensor stack, the audio path, and the band itself. Spent the first six months getting a 38‑gram device to sit still on a moving head. Believes good hardware disappears when you wear it.

11 · Common questions
What people ask before they reserve.
If it's not here, email us and we'll add it. We answer every reasonable question personally, usually within a day.
Does it actually treat BPPV, or just guide me?
Both. The Epley maneuver itself is the treatment — it moves a dislodged otolith crystal back into place. VertiBand's job is to make sure you perform it correctly so the treatment works. The hard part isn't the motion, it's the precision. That's where the sensor earns its keep.
How do I know it's working?
Every session produces a structured log — angle accuracy, hold quality, a composite VertiScore, and a post-session note written by the AI coach. Across sessions you see your recovery trajectory. If it's not moving in the right direction, return the device.
Can it diagnose BPPV or just treat it?
We're researching a head-IMU nystagmus estimator that flags active BPPV episodes from 1–3 Hz oscillations in yaw-rate. Today it ships as an experimental indicator. Diagnosis still requires a clinician. Don't skip one if this is your first vertigo episode.
What about posterior vs horizontal canal BPPV?
The shipped protocol is the right- and left-side Epley for posterior-canal BPPV (by far the most common). A Gufoni maneuver for horizontal-canal cases is on the roadmap for a firmware update.
Is this a medical device?
Not yet. VertiBand is a research prototype and a wellness product. We are pursuing appropriate regulatory pathways but we are not going to wait on them to help people at home.
Why a one-time purchase and not a subscription?
Because a subscription would be extortion. The device does its job on day one and on day 10,000. We make money once, you own the device, the data stays with you. The end.
What if it doesn't help?
30-day return, no questions. The 10-year warranty covers manufacturing defects, battery, and firmware support.
Does my data leave the device?
Only if you choose to sync. The band stores the last 20 sessions locally. The companion app adds cloud sync and sharing, both optional and revocable.
