How it works

From “is this normal?” to a plan, in three steps

1

Answer guided questions

The assessment walks you through the Beighton flexibility score and the systemic features named in the official 2017 hEDS criteria — in plain language, one question at a time.

2

See how your pattern maps

You’ll see exactly which criteria your answers are consistent with, which they aren’t, and how your standing-intolerance symptoms fit a POTS picture.

3

Take the report to your doctor

Get a clean, printable summary — organized the way clinicians think — so your appointment starts from evidence instead of starting over.

Your report includes

Walk in prepared, not dismissed

Your Beighton score with the age-adjusted threshold

Scored the way the 2017 criteria specify — including the historical flexibility questionnaire clinicians use when scores sit near the cutoff.

A criterion-by-criterion breakdown

Which systemic features you reported, family history, and pain or instability patterns — mapped to the exact criterion each one belongs to.

A POTS screen with an at-home next step

If your symptoms fit orthostatic intolerance, the report includes instructions for the 10-minute NASA lean test you can bring to your appointment.

Questions to ask, and who to ask

The types of clinicians who evaluate hypermobility, and the specific phrases that keep an appointment on track.

Created by physicians who treat pain and hypermobility

This assessment was built by physicians specializing in pain medicine and hypermobility-related conditions, using the 2017 international diagnostic criteria for hEDS published by the medical consortium that defines them. It is an educational screening tool — it organizes your story so a clinician can evaluate it properly. It does not diagnose.

Common questions

Before you start

Can this tell me whether I have hEDS or POTS?

No — and be wary of anything online that claims it can. hEDS is a clinical diagnosis a qualified clinician makes in person, and POTS requires objective heart-rate testing. What this assessment does is show you how closely your symptoms map to the official criteria, so you and your doctor can have a far more productive conversation.

Is it really free?

Yes. The assessment and your full report are free. We also offer optional paid guides for people who want deeper help navigating appointments and care — you'll see them after your report, no obligation.

What happens to my answers?

Your answers stay in your browser — they are never sent to or stored on our servers. Your report is generated on your own device. If you choose to receive your results guide by email, we store only your email address and a general result category, never your individual answers.

Who made this?

Physicians specializing in pain medicine and hypermobility-related conditions, frustrated by how many patients spend years being dismissed before anyone measures their symptoms against criteria that have existed since 2017.

How long does it take?

About 10 minutes. You can move at your own pace — nothing is timed, and every question is one tap.

The Appointment Playbook

Your report tells your doctor what's going on. The Playbook makes sure the appointment goes somewhere: what to say in the first 90 seconds, how to respond when you hear “you're just flexible” or “it's anxiety,” which tests and referrals to ask for by name, and how to leave every visit with a next step in writing. Written by physicians who sit on the other side of that desk.
