About

Attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder. The common diagnostic of ADHD is based on psychiatric examination and interview. So far, there is not any other diagnostic tool for ADHD nowadays. Therefore, virtual reality (VR) technology can be used as a stimulus, replacing real stimuli, recreating experiences, which are in the real world would be impossible. Consequently, ADHD-VR diagnostic tool development should be started to justify the ADHD diagnosis in psychiatric out-patient clinical services.

Full description

Diagnostic test is a very essential in modern medical practices, especially in child and adolescent psychiatry field because the main diagnostic tool is only based on psychiatry interview and observation. Using Diagnostic tool can help a confirmation towards specific clinical diagnosis, provide more evidence for eliminating one diagnosis versus another, provide more evidence for parents, or to rule out the differential diagnosis. Even though psychiatric examination is the main approach on ADHD diagnostic procedure, however the laboratory testing or imaging examination is also used especially to rule out the general medical condition or to find out any medical conditions that mimic ADHD but not to facilitate the ADHD diagnosis per se. Nowadays, the expand study in biological psychiatry has found a lot of biological markers in ADHD as well; but none is really sensitive and specific for ADHD diagnostic test. Therefore, there should be another approach for developing diagnostic tool in ADHD. VR is one of the best approach bacasue these days, because VR as an ADHD diagnostic tool could create and replace real stimuli, recreating experiences, which could not be observed by the clinician at the out-patient clinic.
