Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project

Living with undiagnosed ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) cause severe learning, social and health difficulties, affecting various aspects of life at any age, early diagnosis can dramatically change that. The need for accessible, objective, early ADHD screening is imperative- and such a solution does not exist today. SeeMe Mobile (previously called MOXO-Mobile) is the first-ever Scientifically-Objective, self-assessment application for screening ADHD, which combines the accuracy of working with biomarkers and measurable data while democratizing accessibility by offering the solution as an appealing and entertained mobile application for smartphones.

Work performed from the beginning of the project to the end of the period covered by the report and main results achieved so far

The App utilizes Eye Tracking (ET) and CPT (Continuous Performance Test) data, to characterize the user’s attentional profile, providing initial evidence of attention difficulties, evaluating ADHD probability, and suggesting follow-up steps. During the present project, we conducted a pilot with our desktop version product (SeeMe) in order to learn about the commercialization channels needed for a B2C product, and the costs required. Moreover, we validated the eye tracking parameters collected during our attentional test as distinguishing between ADHD and control subjects.
In order to examine the business feasibility of the product, the company conducted a wide market research which included a desk research, focus groups, and one-on-one interviews with clinicians and key personals in UK.
In our study, we learned that parents to children with ADHD, or in the process of diagnosis, spend considerable time waiting due to 1-2 years waiting list at the NHS, to understand their child’s condition, without any practical tools for helping them cope.

Progress beyond the state of the art and expected potential impact (including the socio-economic impact and the wider societal implications of the project so far)

Therefore we concluded, that in order to minimize the waiting time for diagnosis, Neurotech Solutions will address the NHS, and offer SeeMe Mobile as a screening tool for the General Practitioners (GP) as well as a prioritizing tool for the pediatricians, making SeeMe Mobile a B2B2C product. The company will plan a pilot study with a group of NHS GPs and pediatricians in order to prove the cost effectiveness of SeeMe Mobile in the process of ADHD diagnosis in UK. The pilot will focus on contribution to the screening process at schools, the prioritizing process between the GPs and the specialists, and on the improvement of quality of life of those in the process.
