Know your health.Own your story.

Understand your treatment. Notice what's changing. Ask better questions.

See how it works

You might not have a word for it yet. That's alright, most people don't.

Starting a new medication or living with ongoing symptoms can sometimes feel confusing or overwhelming.

  • There's a name for it

    Antipsychotic and antidepressant medications can cause movement-related side effects. Collectively these are called extrapyramidal side effects, or EPS.

  • It can start quietly

    These changes can start subtly: a slight tremor, or a restlessness that is hard to put into words.

  • Appointments are short

    Changes that happen between visits are easy to forget, and hard to describe from memory once you are in the room.

  • Noticing gives you more to work with

    When you have noticed and recorded what is changing, you and your care team have more to talk about at your next appointment.

    How it works

How it works

How EPSpeak helps

  • Daily companion

    Build self-awareness and self-monitor your symptoms over time.

  • Voice-based self check-in

    Complete a simple voice-based check-in to help you notice changes over time.

  • Share with your clinician

    Choose to share your medications, side effects, and symptoms with your clinician at your next clinic visit.

    Build your awareness and understanding of your medications through easy-to-understand, evidence-based information.

Your phone is all you needNo wearable needed

You can use EPSpeak without a wearable. Your phone provides everything you need to track your symptoms and experiences over time.

  • If you have a compatible wearable, you can optionally connect it to EPSpeak to provide additional continuous data. This can help build a richer picture of changes over time and, where appropriate, support information you choose to share with your care team.

At home or at your appointment

EPSpeak offers two simple sessions designed for use at home or in the clinic. Complete a session before your appointment or during your visit, then choose what information you would like to share with your care team.

  • At home

    Complete a session in your own time, before your appointment, so what you want to raise is already written down.

  • At the clinic

    Complete a session during your visit, and choose what you would like to share with your care team.

What keeping track can look like.

How people use EPSpeak between appointments, and what changes when the conversation starts from what actually happened.

  • Sarah M.46 years

    Now I walk in with notes, not guesses.

  • “It is so much easier to explain what has been happening.”

    I used to forget half of what I wanted to say once I was in the room. Now my check-ins are all there, so the conversation starts from what actually happened rather than from what I can remember.

    James T.58 years

  • Priya K.34 years

    The check-in takes less than a minute.

  • “I like that I decide what gets shared.”

    Nothing goes to anyone unless I choose to share it. Knowing that made it much easier to start, and I share my record with my clinician when I am ready.

    Daniel R.41 years

  • Helen W.63 years

    Seeing the weeks side by side helped me ask better questions.

  • “No account, no fuss.”

    I did not have to sign up or hand over my email. I opened it, read the short passage aloud, and my first check-in was done.

Is my data secure and protected with EPSpeak?

  • No account, no name

    There is no account to create and no login. EPSpeak uses anonymous sign-in with a randomly generated ID, and does not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts or precise location.

  • Only during your check-in

    Recording happens only while you complete your check-in, never in the background. Raw movement data from your phone's sensors never leaves your device.

  • Deleted on a schedule

    Voice recordings are deleted from EPSpeak Cloud after 7 days, unless you have enrolled in the pilot study. If you are not enrolled in the pilot study, everything else is deleted after 30 days of inactivity.

  • Yours to share

    You're in control of your data. You can choose whether to share your information with your trusted clinician.

Breaking the stigma

EPSpeak is on a mission to help reduce the stigma around living with treatment-resistant depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

We believe people deserve to understand their health, feel comfortable asking questions, and have a voice in conversations about their treatment.

Your health journey is your story. EPSpeak helps you understand it, keep track of it, and share it when you're ready.

What is EPS?

EPS are movement side effects of some antipsychotic and antidepressant medicines: tremor, akathisia, stiffness and slowness. Signs, causes and what to do.

EPSpeak FAQ: side effects, privacy and the app

An app for tracking antipsychotic side effects lets you keep a daily record of your medications and of changes you notice, such as restlessness, tremor, stiffness or slowness, so you have something specific to discuss at your next appointment. EPSpeak is one, built for people taking antidepressant or antipsychotic medication, and it is free.
