Project description
New mobile app to test for ADHD
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common behavioural disorder that can affect children and teens and includes symptoms such as inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. If untreated, it can lead to difficulties in school and high rates of dropout, substance or alcohol abuse and delinquency. It affects more than 26 million Europeans. However, early detection and treatment can dramatically reduce the symptoms. The EU-funded MOXO-Mobile Phase-1 project will bring to market the MOXO-Mobile – the first ADHD-screening smartphone application. Based on continuous performance test (CPT) and eye tracking (ET), the MOXO-Mobile allows all smartphone owners to test possible attentional dysfunctions and offers guidance for further diagnosis.
Objective
Undiagnosed ADHD leads to learning and social difficulties, school drop-out, unemployment, criminality, and even premature death.
Early diagnosis can dramatically improve the quality of life of at least 26 million individuals in the EU, prevent incarceration and recidivism, and save lives.
MOXO-Mobile is the first ADHD screening mobile application, combining a Continuous Performance Test (CPT) and Eye Tracking (ET) to give an accurate and simple evaluation of the evidence of attentional difficulties. Using this application, every smartphone user could assess his/her attention level and profile and receive further guidance, in case of need, for further diagnosis.
The application will be downloaded for free with pay-per-use strategy as the user will purchase tests as he wishes for himself and his family.
MOXO-Mobile will create a new market (ADHD screening), with max market potential of €2.8B and a projected ROI of 6.1 in 3 years for MOXO-Mobile.
SMEi Phase 1 will enable Neurotech-Solutions to conduct a wide feasibility study, establish an elaborated business plan, risk
assessment, and a sustainability estimation of the product.
