Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to demonstrate the accuracy of the MT1 algorithm using the MindTension biometric sensor device as a diagnostic aid for healthcare providers in diagnosing ADHD in youth ages ≥ 6 to ≤17 years.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study aims to demonstrate the accuracy of the MT1 algorithm. The output of the MT1 algorithm will be compared to a Gold Standard clinical diagnosis made by specialist clinician diagnosis supported by the Kiddie SADS Present and Lifetime semi-structured interview (K-SADS-PL) and norm-referenced measures of current ADHD symptom frequency and severity using the ADHD-RS-5 rating scale. Diagnosis will be scaled according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders- 5 (DSM-5) criteria, and made with agreement between two licensed specialists in ADHD (a Clinical Psychologist and a Psychiatrist).

Further to the above, demonstrate that the agreement between the MT1 output and the specialist clinician diagnosis will be non-inferior to the level of agreement between the clinician diagnosis with the Test of Visual Attention (TOVA) FDA cleared device.

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The study will include a group of subjects who have ADHD and subjects who are healthy controls based on the specialist clinician assessment.

Following the specialist clinician assessment each subject will undergo a test using the FDA cleared T.O.V.A and MindTension's MT1.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

ADHD group

Subjects will be evaluated for ADHD using clinically established reference standard interviews and psychometric tools with demonstrated validity, including the K-SADS and ADHD-RS-5, in accordance with DSM-5 criteria. IQ will be estimated using two subtests of the WASI.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

MT1 Auditory startle response patterns analysis algorithm

Intervention Type DEVICE

Objective measurements of attention and inhibition.

T.O.V.A. Continuous Performance Test

Intervention Type DEVICE

Objective measurements of attention and inhibitory control.

Non-ADHD group

Subjects will be evaluated using clinically established reference standard interviews and psychometric tools with demonstrated validity, including the K-SADS and ADHD-RS-5, in accordance with DSM-5 criteria. IQ will be estimated using two subtests of the WASI.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Parent provision of signed and dated informed consent form
2. Child stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study
3. Any gender, aged 6 to 17 years
4. Stimulant naïve or willing to wash out of stimulant for 3 days (approximately 72 hours) prior to testing with biometric and performance devices (MindTension + TOVA)
5. ADHD Group: Diagnosed with symptoms consistent with ADHD as determined by Mini Kid + an ADHD-RS score of 1.5SD above mean for age and sex
6. Control group: No diagnosable disorder on the Mini kid, and an ADHD-RS score within 1SD of the mean for age and sex.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Current use of psychotropic medications that cannot be washed out in 3 days (approximately 72 hours)
2. Known current seizure disorder (history of febrile seizure allowed).
3. Presence of specific devices (e.g., cardiac pacemaker) that may interfere with the MindTension monitor
4. IQ\<70 by clinician judgment
5. Meeting FULL criteria for current PTSD, GAD, MDD, or any lifetime diagnosis of ASD, Bipolar disorder, or psychotic disorder that was, in the opinion of the investigator, correctly obtained. May have symptoms of anxiety or dysthymia/depression not meeting criteria for a full disorder, or disorders such as simple phobia
6. Deaf or hearing impaired, since this will make it difficult to hear and respond to the auditory stimuli.
7. Inability to complete the assessments.
8. Any other concerns in the judgment of the PI.
