Help test Vexa —
cervical dystonia with DBS.

Testing is small on purpose: a first group of up to 30 people with cervical dystonia and a DBS system, so every tester gets a real reply from a real person. Applying takes two minutes. If you're accepted you'll get an invitation from Apple TestFlight by email, usually within a few days.

Please read before applying. Vexa is a monitoring tool, not a medical device, and the severity numbers it shows are experimental — consistent, but not yet validated against clinical scales. It will not tell you what to change and should never replace your neurologist's judgment. The programming log, session history, notes and report are solid and useful today; the measurement is what you'd be helping us validate.

About you

First name

Use the address tied to your Apple ID if you can — TestFlight invitations go to it.

Country

Your condition and treatment

Which best describes you?

Testing is currently open for cervical dystonia with DBS. If you choose another condition we'll keep your application and contact you when that condition opens — you'll also be added to the launch list.

Which DBS system?

Roughly how long since your DBS surgery (or diagnosis, if no DBS)?

Your equipment

Which AirPods do you have?

AirPods Pro (2nd/3rd gen) AirPods Pro (1st gen) AirPods Max Regular AirPods (not Pro) None yet

Vexa reads the motion sensors that only AirPods Pro (and Max) carry. Regular AirPods won't work. Not sure which you have? The Pro has silicone ear tips.

Your phone

iPhone on iOS 18 or later iPhone, older iOS Android

Check under Settings → General → About → iOS Version. There is no Android version.

Sharing data

Would you be willing to share an export of your Vexa data with us?

Yes, happy to Maybe — tell me more first I'd rather not

This is what makes testing useful: exports are how we check the measurement against real people. It's optional, it's pseudonymous (no name or email in the file), and it has its own consent step later — this question just tells us where you stand. What sharing involves →

Before you send I understand Vexa needs an iPhone (iOS 18+) and AirPods Pro, and that I'll install it through Apple's TestFlight. I understand the severity and movement numbers are experimental and not clinically validated, that Vexa is not a medical device, and that I won't change my treatment based on it without my neurologist. I'm willing to use the app for a few weeks and tell you what's confusing or broken — that's the job. I am 18 or older, and I'm happy for Vexa to email me about testing.

Optional
