Estimate your risk,
then ask why

today and a 7-day outlook

One number for today, a week of numbers ahead, and a chat that answers questions about your own data in plain words. The score is built from what you log and what the app detects, weighted day by day as each trigger's effect fades. It is an estimate from your own history, not a diagnosis.

why track at all?

Dizziness affects 15 to 20% of adults in a year and vestibular vertigo about 5%, and both BPPV and vestibular migraine are largely underdiagnosed.

Neuhauser, Handb Clin Neurol 2016

How the daily score is built

The score starts from your triggers. Every trigger you log, and every one the app detects on its own from your wearable, your phone, your food log or the weather, carries a severity you chose during setup: High, Mild, Low or None. Recent triggers weigh more than older ones and each one's effect decays over seven days, so last night's short sleep still counts today and less so on Thursday.

Your warning signs (prodromes) add to it, and if you track your cycle, your predicted period does too. The thresholds for each zone and the decay curves are yours to see and edit under Risk Model, and the recalibration round proposes changes when your data disagrees with them.

The 7-day outlook

Because weather comes with a forecast and a period can be predicted, the app can put the days ahead on the same scale as today. A pressure drop due later in the week shows up before it lands, so you can move the meeting or plan the quieter day.

The outlook is part of Premium. The free app shows today's score.

Ask why, in your own words

Ask VertigoMe is a chat with read access to your sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, stress, steps, weather, spins, triggers, prodromes, medicines and reliefs. It answers from what it actually sees in your data, not generic advice, and it does not log anything for you. Your messages go to the AI providers to generate the answer, the conversation is not stored, and there is a daily message allowance. It is a place for questions to bring to your ENT or neurologist, not for diagnoses.

Where it lives in the app

Home carries the number: the gauge with today's score and its zone, the 7-day row under it, and the sodium counter and quick-log strip above. Tap the gauge and Risk detail opens the contributor list, each trigger with the points it adds today and how long it has been active. Ask VertigoMe sits on Home, under the gauge.

What it needs from you

Logs, and nothing else to begin with. The score works from what you log and what your phone can detect; a wearable, Apple Health or Health Connect adds sleep, HRV, recovery and stress on top. It is an additive estimate rather than a probability: recent trigger severities, decayed over the days since, added up and placed in a zone. The 7-day outlook is part of Premium.

Questions

Do I need a wearable for the risk score?

No. The score works from what you log and what your phone can detect. A wearable, Apple Health or Health Connect adds sleep, HRV, recovery and stress automatically, which gives the score more to work with.

Is the score a probability?

No. It is an additive estimate: the severities of your recent triggers, decayed over the days since, added up and placed in a zone. It is not a percentage chance of a spin and it does not diagnose anything.

How do I know whether to trust a high day?

The Accuracy card shows how many spins followed a warning (Caught) and how many warnings had no spin (False alarms), once you have at least seven days of gauge data. If the score keeps missing, the recalibration round proposes new thresholds for you to accept or reject.
