New progress in ADHD intervention in 2023 - from artificial intelligence to virtual reality

Hello everyone, I am Brother Tao, a researcher dedicated to studying ADHD (Brother Tao’s method of dealing with ADHD will be shared when he graduates in two years)

With the rapid development of science and technology, intervention methods for ADHD are also constantly improving

Today, let’s explore three of the latest studies on ADHD intervention released in 2023 to see how technology can help us better understand and treat ADHD.

The use of artificial intelligence in ADHD intervention

Let’s first look at the research conducted by M. Sibley et al.[1].

This study developed a community implementation model based on artificial intelligence and digital technology for behavioral treatment of adolescent ADHD.

Features of this new model include the use of AI for intervention integrity monitoring and feedback, as well as digital resources such as manuals, worksheets, tips and videos.

The main features of the project include:

1. Task Shifting Supervision: Shifting supervisory responsibilities from experts to agency directors.

2. Regular Technical Assistance: Provided every two weeks to support training and implementation

3. AI Monitoring and Feedback: Artificial Intelligence technology used to ensure the integrity of MI and provide feedback

4. Fidelity indicators for artificial intelligence-generated content: used to evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of project content

5. Digital Resources: Provide resources such as manuals, worksheets, tips and videos on the clinician’s dashboard.

6. Visual display of feedback: Use badges and charts to display feedback.

7. Add Rapport-Building Sessions: Conduct before manual content.

Preliminary results show that implementing this model on a community basis is feasible and has institutional acceptance and participation

Implications:This study provides a new, technology-supported approach to implementing ADHD interventions. This approach may increase the efficiency of the intervention while reducing reliance on specialist resources.

2. Attention problems of ADHD children under integrated education

The main purpose of this study is to develop an intervention program based on the inattentive behavior of students with ADHD identified in an inclusive education setting

The research used a case study method. The researcher used checklists and interviews to conduct the study. Across the four inclusive education programs, only three participants demonstrated inattentive behaviors. The study found that the three cases had similar characteristics in the following aspects:

1. Lack of Attention to Detail: Failure to pay adequate attention to details or showing negligence during school assignments or other activities

2. Difficulty concentrating: Having difficulty concentrating whether on homework or playing games

3. Unable to follow instructions: Failure to complete assignments as directed and unable to complete homework, tasks, or workplace responsibilities.

4. Difficulty Keeping Important Things is: Case 1 and Case 3 both had difficulty keeping important things needed for a task or activity

5. Susceptible to distraction from external stimuli: Case 2 and Case 3 behave the same in this regard. Rewritten content: Easily distracted by external stimuli: Case 2 and Case 3 show similar conditions in this regard

The study recommends that inclusive education programs strengthen their intervention procedures and work with parents of ADHD students to continue relevant activities.

Implications: Research highlights the importance of identifying and responding to inattentive behaviors in children with ADHD and providing appropriate supports to these students in inclusive education settings, and provides insights into the development of effective interventions for these children. foundation.

3. The impact of virtual reality on the processing speed and working memory of patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

Finally, let’s take a look at the research by Filipa Cunha et al.[3].

This study evaluated the effects of a virtual reality-based intervention on processing speed and working memory in students with ADHD symptoms.

There were 25 adult participants, who were divided into two groups: a passive control group and an intervention group, which completed 10 sessions using a virtual reality-based game in the Enhance VR app intervention.

The results showed that the group that underwent virtual reality cognitive training improved in processing speed. Although the improvement in working memory was not obvious, this provides the possibility of longer-term intervention in the future.

Implications: Virtual reality provides a fun and interactive way to conduct cognitive training, which may more easily attract the attention and engagement of individuals with ADHD.

Need to summarize again

Through these studies, we can see that technology, from artificial intelligence to virtual reality, plays an increasingly important role in the treatment and intervention of ADHD.

These developments not only provide us with new treatment methods, but also open up new paths for the research and understanding of ADHD

Parents and adults with ADHD must maintain confidence. After Brother Tao was diagnosed with adult ADHD in 2019, he clearly felt that society has become more aware and accepting of ADHD in recent years, and support resources have become more and more abundant

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

In the future, ADHD will definitely get better and better. Many parents are worried that their children with ADHD will have no future and will not be able to survive. This is impossible.

Finally, I hope that every ADHDer can eventually live a happy life.
