Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
We are working with mental health trusts and community paediatric services across the region to improve the ADHD assessment offer to children and young people by implementing a computer based objective assessment tool (measuring attention, impulsivity and activity) to supplement current clinical assessment processes.
This tool aims to increase the speed and accuracy of diagnosing ADHD as well as improving the experience for patients, their families and also clinicians.
Health Innovation East Midlands supported a 12-month, real-world demonstrator project, where an objective assessment tool (QbTest) was used in different pathways across three East Midlands NHS trusts.
