Personal experience of computer system development in the field of vestibular science was reviewed, and suggestions are made for wide distribution of developed systems in the future.
The 4 computer systems developed by the author were introduced: 1) ABR data processing software; 2) Eye-head coordination analysis software; 3) Universal ENG data analysis software; 4) Web software for drawing nystagmograms. The former 3 systems could not be distributed widely, while the latter web software can be accessed by anyone via the internet. However, for this system to be used as a tool for a large-scale study of the relationships between nystagmus findings and diseases, “standardization” of the drawing convention is mandatory.
Although the field of vestibular science is appropriate for personal system development, supports of certain organizations are necessary for wide distribution of the developed systems.
