A Revolutionary Device Powered by Cutting-Edge Artificial Intelligence
For years, people have anticipated the day when AI would transform disease treatment. Felix is that breakthrough technology – an innovative solution combining advanced artificial intelligence and neurotechnology to help patients with movement disorders.
Felix Patient Stories
Watch real patients share their essential tremor stories, how they found Felix, their experience using it, and the difference it has made in their everyday lives.
David, a retired deputy sheriff, developed significant tremor following an accident in 2015. As his tremor progressed, it affected everyday activities, but also challenged his confidence and ability to do things that had been central to his life and career. After trying multiple medications and other ways of coping without sufficient relief and disliking how the medications made him feel, David asked his provider what else he could do and learned about Felix. Initially skeptical, he began using the device and reports progressive improvement in his tremor and everyday activities, including improvement in both hands. He feels strongly enough about his experience that he offers to speak with other patients who may be uncertain about trying it. Acknowledging that his story may sound like a promotion, David emphasizes that he is simply sharing the truth about his own experience with the device.
Linda, a former teacher and writer, has lived with essential tremor for about 20 years. As her symptoms progressed, she learned to cope with her tremor while continuing to teach, but eventually stopped teaching. She describes the fear of having few options that felt right for her and feeling as though essential tremor was a “life sentence.” She discovered Felix through a newspaper article and began using it daily. She reports noticeable improvement and describes the device as becoming a seamless part of her everyday life. Linda values having a non-invasive treatment option and has been especially impressed by both the technology and the personal support she has received.
Christie, 84, has lived with essential tremor for more than 40 years and has experienced increasing difficulty with everyday activities. She takes propranolol but has had to reduce her dosage because of other medical issues. She says she could see a difference with propranolol, but with Felix, “it is a big difference.” Using Felix has given her more confidence in everyday activities and has become part of her everyday life. She describes her overall experience as wonderful and has shared her story with friends and others she knows who have essential tremor. While recognizing that results may vary from person to person, she encourages others with essential tremor to consider trying Felix.
“For me, it’s better than taking medication. It’s a great solution – it works. There’s something actively monitoring my body and responding to it. Not only does it reduce my tremor, but it has also improved my relationships.”
David
“This essentially achieves what major invasive surgery would – without the invasiveness. The best way to describe it is: I don’t need medication, yet I’m experiencing better treatment outcomes. It’s about dignity and the feeling of being normal again – something you can’t put a number on.”
Christian
“My neurologist told me that after medication, the next step would likely be brain surgery. That’s why I’m so excited – Felix is noninvasive, and you can use it alongside medication. I feel more comfortable at work and can finally get back to painting, baking, and other hobbies.”
Cindy
“I feel like I’ve had tremor my entire life. My case is mild, and I’ve learned to hide the symptoms well. The device is very easy to use, and I can definitely feel my hands shaking less. My handwriting is much clearer now, and I worry less about the condition progressing and taking away my independence.”
John
“I’ve had symptoms for many years. Initially, they were mild, but they’ve progressed as I’ve gotten older. I don’t like taking medication because of the side effects. If Felix works, I’m all in – 100%. I noticed a change within the first month of therapy. I tremble less and can now do things that were previously difficult for me.”
Kay
“I tried medications but had to stop because they lowered my blood pressure and made me feel foggy. I was really hoping my doctor could offer a therapy that didn’t involve taking a pill. Now, the first thing I do in the morning is put on Felix. It has significantly improved my life – Felix is a game changer. I would absolutely recommend it.”
Karen
“I’m a professional basketball player. I tried medications, therapy, meditation, and consulted various doctors – but nothing worked for me. After seven years of motor function degradation, I experienced improvement for the first time. I noticed my hands, my body, and my head felt more steady.”
Bennett
“I was working as an electrician but had to quit because of the disease. I thought I was going home to slowly die. The medications made me sleepy, and the disease kept progressing. After using the device for a month, I was able to carry a mug of tea and enjoy it – no splashes, no spills.”

Experts On The Felix
Hear what essential tremor experts think about the Felix device and the huge potential AI has to improve patient outcomes and create better solutions.
“I was part of the study as a principal investigator. Some participants were assigned to the Felix group, and others to the sham group, though the assignments were blinded. After 90 days, the study was unblinded, and the results clearly favored the device. There’s a significant gap between medication and deep brain stimulation, and Felix has the potential to fill that gap.”

“The ability to personalize therapy using AI technology is a major breakthrough. One of our board members tried the device and experienced tremendous benefit. Compared to other wearables, Felix is subtle – similar in appearance to an Apple Watch – and doesn’t make users feel different from others. Felix gives people hope; when medication fails, it offers a meaningful alternative.”
Patrick McCartney
Executive Director, International Essential Tremor Foundation
“I was a principal investigator in the study. Patients with tremor often experience symptoms that significantly affect their daily lives, yet there are very few effective treatment options. The Fasikl device is a promising and innovative breakthrough for managing essential tremor. Fasikl has conducted strong clinical studies, including an open-label pilot study that showed improvement, followed by a double-blind, sham-controlled trial that also demonstrated positive results.
In our trials, we observed not only improvements in tremor, but also enhancements in patients’ quality of life. We hope future studies will continue to show similar outcomes. The AI component of the device allows for adaptive stimulation, offering better tremor control. Compared to medication, the safety profile of this device is better.”

“I was a principal investigator in the study. Essential tremor is a common movement disorder, yet it lacks effective and well-tolerated treatment options. As people age, tremor often worsens, significantly impacting daily life. The field has long awaited a therapy that offers better outcomes with improved tolerability.
The use of AI to personalize treatment represents a major advancement. Essential tremor is challenging to treat, and Felix has the potential to be a game changer. Fasikl opens a new door – a new approach and a new product to help patients. In clinical studies, Fasikl has demonstrated meaningful tremor reduction without the trade-offs of side effects or brain surgery.”
Stuart H. Isaacson, MD
Director, Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders Center of Boca Raton
“Essential tremor is one of the most common neurological disorders in the world. Unfortunately, much about the disease remains unknown, and current medications often yield disappointing results. As a result, many diagnosed patients are left without effective treatment options. Felix leverages AI to optimize stimulation patterns, and with properly trained algorithms, it can significantly enhance treatment outcomes.”
