THE NEED

ADHD is a chronic disorder that affects millions of children and often continues into adulthood. The worldwide prevalence of ADHD in children diagnosed is over 7% with a clear trend of increase. ADHD includes a combination of persistent problems: difficulty in sustaining attention, hyperactivity and impulsive behavior. While treatment won't cure ADHD, it can help a great deal with symptoms. Treatment typically involves medication and behavioral intervention. Early diagnosis and treatment can make an enormous difference in the child's quality of life.

THE PROBLEM

The diagnosis of ADHD and the results of optional treatment solutions are dependent on subjective inputs provided by educators and parents. This leads to an inefficient “trial and error” approach for identifying the suitable treatment and evaluating its effectiveness. At this time, there is no available mechanism that provides an objective view on the success of the child’s chosen treatment and a monitoring of his/her condition over time.
