N2 - Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) has variable levels of severity and triggers. Hence the use of an e-diary to capture triggers could be useful for both the patient and treating clinician. Virtual reality (VR) is not new to health sciences. This paper proposes a strategy that by using immersive VR environments at home, the technology could facilitate the user to identify baseline symptoms and record in an in-built virtual-reality based contextual diary (e-diary), plus an ability to alter the virtual environments to assess triggers, habituation of triggers and also treatment improvements. We discuss the type of VR designs that could be useful to incorporate a PPPD e-diary from the perspective of a VR designer. We also consider the development of the virtual reality environment that could be paired with e-diary responses.
