Abstract
In this study, we propose a deep learning-based nystagmus detection algorithm using video oculography (VOG) data to diagnose benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Various deep learning architectures were utilized to develop and evaluate nystagmus detection models. Among the four deep learning architectures used in this study, the CNN1D model proposed as a nystagmus detection model demonstrated the best performance, exhibiting a sensitivity of 94.06 ± 0.78%, specificity of 86.39 ± 1.31%, precision of 91.34 ± 0.84%, accuracy of 91.02 ± 0.66%, and an -score of 92.68 ± 0.55%. These results indicate the high accuracy and generalizability of the proposed nystagmus diagnosis algorithm. In conclusion, this study validates the practicality of deep learning in diagnosing BPPV and offers avenues for numerous potential applications of deep learning in the medical diagnostic sector. The findings of this research underscore its importance in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and efficiency in healthcare.
