ADHD360 project

ADΗD is the most commonly diagnosed mental disorder and is mainly characterized by difficulties in paying attention. Up to this day, the diagnosis, the interventions and the evaluation of the treatment effectiveness are based on systematic record of the symptoms done by experts. The systematic reports, even though they add immense value to the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD, are often prone to subjectivity. The source of subjectivity is the fact that these reports are mainly based on qualitative attributes, for instance the answers a child or his parents gives to an expert. The main objective of this project is the development of a novel, integrated platform, named ADHD360, based on a serious game. The functionality that will be implemented in ADHD360 is a) the diagnosis of the disorder b) the treatment of it’s symptoms through the platform and through interventions and c) the evaluation of their effectiveness. ADHD360 aspires to develop into an integrated solution that will become the central point for individuals that want to be informed on ADHD or use the provided services. The project is expected to have a significant positive impact on the general population and specifically on of parents, educators, health experts and people with ADHD. The application will come in two versions, the first will provide diagnostic services and the second, available through subscription, will provide more advanced services. The game will be available for PC through the web and for the mobile platforms iOS and Android. It should be noted that ADHD360 focuses on all English and Greek speaking markets. Τhe SOFTWISE lab (Informatics AUTH), the MEDPHYS lab (Medical School AUTH) and TSM LTD. will cooperate for the development of this project. Together, they have the necessary knowledge and technical expertise regarding data analysis, machine learning, medical protocols, software development and gamification that the project requires.
