Otolith

Otolith Labs, Inc. (trading as Otolith) is a privately held, clinical-stage medical device company headquartered at 200 Massachusetts Ave NW in Washington, D.C., founded in 2015 by Sam Owen and developing a non-invasive wearable headband — the OtoBand — that applies calibrated mechanical vibration to the vestibular system, a technique the company calls non-invasive Vestibular Resonance Therapy (nVRT) or vestibular masking, to reduce the symptoms of chronic vertigo and vestibular migraine without surgery, medication, or patient-specific calibration. The device holds an FDA Breakthrough Device designation, has been evaluated in clinical work spanning 600+ subjects, and is being studied for cybersickness in virtual reality. Otolith Labs is backed by Morningside Ventures, Mark Cuban Companies and a group of ENT physician investors. It is a physical medical device manufacturer: it publishes no public API, developer portal, SDK, or machine-readable specification, and its only web surface is a WordPress marketing, investor and clinical-trial site.

Otolith is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Medical Devices, Healthcare, MedTech, and Wearables.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/otolith: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  detail: Otolith Labs makes one prescription physical medical device (the OtoBand vertigo wearable) and its entire web presence
    is a WordPress marketing, investor and clinical-trial site — there is no developer subdomain (api./app./developer./docs./portal.otolithlabs.com
    are all NXDOMAIN), no GitHub organization, and the only machine-readable endpoint on the domain is the default WordPress
    core REST API at /wp-json/, which is CMS scaffolding rather than a product API.
