Do I understand correctly that if one has had DBS they are not eligible for Felix NeuroAI?
You are correct. If you have any type of implanted electrical device such as a brain stimulator or pacemaker, this device cannot be used. It can be used by individuals who have had focused ultrasound. There is more information on Fasikl’s website, https://www.fasikl.com/indications-for-use/.
Disappointed because I have one side DBS and looking for help for my dominant hand. It seems like a great option so I have passed the info on to our Huntsville AL Area Tremor Talkers. Would like to read the JAMA article.
Hi Carla,
We truly appreciate you sharing our information with the Huntsville Tremor Talkers!
I am sorry to hear about the disappointment regarding the DBS contraindication. While safety protocols currently limit Felix’s use for those with implanted stimulators, we value your interest in the clinical data.
You can find a summary of our findings and a direct link to the full JAMA Neurology article here:

Is it worthwhile to look further into this if you’re one of those lucky people who also has… Parkinson’s?
We don’t see anything on the Fasikl website about Parkinson’s disease. Here is the link to their website so you can learn more. https://www.fasikl.com/felix/
Thank you for your presentation. I am currently using the Cala wristband with practically no long term benefit beyond a few minutes, unfortunately. It sounds like felix is a more developed system. Do you think it would be beneficial for me to try your system?
Hi Suzanne,
Thank you for sharing your experience. While both devices address similar needs, they utilize different clinical approaches. The Cala device is typically designed for ‘on-demand’ or acute relief during specific activities. In contrast, the Felix system is engineered for continuous, all-day support to provide more consistent management of symptoms.
Given that you aren’t seeing long-term benefits with your current setup, Felix may offer the sustained coverage you’re looking for. We encourage you to reserve a device at https://www.fasikl.com/felix/. This will place you on our waitlist and send you a registration link to our patient portal, which contains a detailed FAQ and more in-depth technical information.
If you have any specific questions, please feel free to reach out to our support team directly at 800-798-6777.
appx cost for someone on Medicare?
Hi Vic,
Coverage can vary depending on your specific plan. Generally, for those on Traditional Medicare, the Felix device is typically covered as Durable Medical Equipment. After you have met your annual deductible, Medicare usually covers 80% of the approved cost, leaving a 20% coinsurance for the patient.
If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, your costs may differ based on your plan’s specific benefits.
To get a more precise estimate for your situation, we recommend calling our support team at 800-798-6777. We can connect you with our billing specialists who can help look into your specific coverage details.
