TORONTO, /PRNewswire/ — Ehave, Inc. (OTCQB: EHVVF), a healthcare company dedicated to empowering the mental health community with next-generation digital solutions, today voiced its support for the millions of millions of adults, families, and children worldwide living with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in advance of ADHD Awareness Month in October.
ADHD is a prevalent condition, affecting 7% of children under 17 and 4% of adults, and has been well-studied since the condition was first described. Today, there are many effective treatments for ADHD but the pace of innovation in assessment, treatment and outcomes verification have not kept pace with new tools available.
Ehave has partnered with the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto in the development of MegaSonic Action Dash and MegaSonic Danger Dive, a suite of engaging video games with embedded cognitive assessment and rehabilitation tasks that are built on established methodologies for the measurement of cognitive abilities in populations with ADHD, though they do not yet have regulatory clearance for diagnostic or therapeutic use. As recently reported, Ehave intends to launch these smartphone-based video games, previously only available through a physician, to the public. Their work in this area has been featured in a recent Canadian documentary about adults struggling with ADHD.
“Following clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Health Canada, these games could potentially help physicians more easily diagnose and track treatment of kids with ADHD,” Prateek Dwivedi, President and CEO of Ehave said. “Methodologies commonly used today involve repetitive performance of tasks using a digital interface. Research has found that patients have difficulty completing the necessary regimen of tasks due to lack of engagement. By leveraging technology to provide a tool that has the attractions of a retro smartphone game, our products have been developed to address these primary concerns as well as to enable a breadth of cognitive processes/abilities to be assessed and an individualized cognitive rehabilitation program to be administered remotely.”
