About Us

Lexi Medical is developing breakthrough deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapies to help people regain safe and effective swallowing.

Dysphagia affects millions, often leading to serious complications and loss of independence. Our targeted DBS approach works by enhancing residual, voluntary control over swallowing—providing immediate functional improvement and supporting recovery.

Rooted in neuroscience and built around patient needs, we’re working to restore one of life’s most essential functions.
