Introduction.
The digitalization and computerization in medicine are increasingly entering in daily clinical practice. The process is feasible only after standardization of medical procedures.
Neurotology is a subspecialty practiced by ENT specialists and neurologists. The different main clinical specialty (ENT or neurology) determines the different focus of the examination.
Materials and methods.
In this presentation, we would like to propose a model of standardized neurotological examination. Discussion and adoption of an exemplary version would be important to give direction for the subsequent AI automation of the process.
Standard neurotological package (statokinetic, coordination tests, Head Impulse Test, vestibulometry (caloric test and rotatory tests), as well as original tests for determining the function of the otolith apparatus) would be presented.
Results.
This presentation is based on the author's dissertation work, comparing conventional methods and equipment for examining the vestibular analyzer.The results from the different studies would be summarized.
Discussion.
Digitalization is the future direction in which medicine is developing. Standardization is the fundamental first step.
