Early Access

A: The Early Access Program (EAP) offers people living with Parkinson’s (PwP) who are willing to trial innovation and can benefit most from the Neptune Care solution with one-year free access. Neptune Care is designed to monitor motor states and associated fluctuations. It aims to empower PwP to learn about their symptoms and influencing factors.

With the EAP, participating PwP will receive daily insights and weekly reports about their condition, and potentially gain new understanding and findings to help better manage their symptoms. PwP enrolled in the EAP will also get regular touch points with designated members of the Orbit Team to discuss feedback and ideas about Neptune Care and its improvements to better serve the Parkinson’s community.

A: Eligibility is determined from your responses to our questionnaire. This questionnaire is sent once you join the waitlist. Selection will be carried out by a panel consisting of neurologists/ movement disorder specialists, patient representatives as well as members of the Orbit team. We aim to select PwP who can benefit most from Neptune Care for the Early Access Program.

A: Neptune Care has an advanced AI algorithm that continuously and objectively tracks your motor symptoms. It enables you to visualize throughout the day the level of OFF, ON, and Dyskinetic states you experience. You will be provided with a wrist sensor. Data is passively captured without the interference of your daily activities. Neptune overlays treatment regiment and activities you log on your motor graph. This allows you to explore possible patterns in your health and potentially support self-management of PD.

Neptune Care’s AI algorithm is trained with MDS-UPDRS and mAIMs clinical labels and is a result of years of research conducted with LMU, Schön Klinik, and other global institutions. Initial findings show its ability to provide reliable motor state insights.

A: The solution is suitable for people diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson’s.

A: Yes, the Early Access Program offers eligible PwP one-year free access to Neptune Care. Orbit will provide participants with a wrist sensor and the Neptune Care mobile app. 

A: After the trial is complete, you can either opt-in and continue using Neptune Care at a nominal monthly subscription or simply return the device. In the latter case, courier charges will be covered.
