    "market": "Consumer digital health for vestibular disorders, specifically BPPV and dizziness self-management, within the broader telerehabilitation and digital therapeutics space.",
    "buyer": "Adults (skewing female and older) suffering recurrent positional vertigo/BPPV, plus ENT clinics, audiologists, and vestibular physiotherapists who could recommend or white-label the app for between-visit home care.",
    "problem": "BPPV is the most common vestibular disorder, yet sufferers face long waits for ENT/vestibular specialists and struggle to perform repositioning maneuvers like the Epley correctly at home from static diagrams. Without guided head-positioning, episode tracking, and recurrence coaching, patients self-treat incorrectly, relapse (recurrence occurs in roughly half of cases), and miss daily activities.",
    "whyNow": "COVID accelerated a durable shift to telehealth and home-based rehab, smartphones now carry accurate motion/gyroscope sensors capable of measuring head-tilt angles in real time, and reimbursement for digital therapeutics is maturing. The digital vestibular rehabilitation platforms market was estimated near USD 498M in 2024 with a projected ~13.5% CAGR through 2033, signaling growing buyer and payer acceptance.",
    "evidence": [
      "BPPV is the most frequent vestibular disorder, with cumulative lifetime prevalence reported between 2.4% and 10%, higher in women (about 3.2% vs 1.6% in men) and rising with age, per population-based epidemiology studies indexed on NIH/PMC.",
      "Canalith repositioning maneuvers (Epley, Semont) are level-1 evidence for posterior-canal BPPV; one prospective study reported a 63.6% success rate after one week of the Epley maneuver, rising to 72.7% after two weeks.",
      "BPPV follows a recurrent course in roughly 50% of cases, and in 86% of affected individuals it led to medical consultation, interruption of daily activities, or sick leave, underscoring high unmet demand for reliable home management.",
      "The global digital vestibular rehabilitation platforms market reached about USD 498.2M in 2024 and is forecast to grow at a ~13.5% CAGR to roughly USD 1.56B by 2033, with homecare an emerging fast-growing end-user segment."

    "risks": [
      "Regulatory and medical-claims risk: positioning the app as treating or curing BPPV can trigger FDA software-as-a-medical-device scrutiny and liability; marketing must stay within wellness/educational claims and carry medical disclaimers.",
      "Clinical safety risk: the Epley maneuver is unsafe for some users (neck/back disease, vascular conditions, retinal detachment) and self-diagnosis may miss serious causes of vertigo such as stroke, so robust screening and escalation prompts are essential.",
