Stanford University School of Medicine
Kristen K. Steenerson, MD, is a clinical associate professor at Stanford University School of Medicine specializing in vestibular neurology and neuro-otology. She directs clinical care within the Vestibular Neurology Clinic at the Stanford Ear Institute focusing on complex dizziness and balance disorders including vestibular migraine, BPPV, Ménière disease, bilateral vestibulopathy, and PPPD. Her academic work integrates translational research with clinician education to improve vestibular diagnosis and management. Her research centers on developing and validating technology-enabled tools to measure vestibular function in real-world settings, including wearable electro-oculography for ambulatory nystagmus detection and inertial sensor systems for mobility and fall risk assessment. She collaborates across neurology, otolaryngology, audiology, engineering, and data science to advance scalable digital biomarkers and clinical trial endpoints.
