Problem
Current ADHD diagnostic methods rely on subjective assessments and complex cognitive tasks, leading to inaccuracies and making it difficult to determine optimal medication dosages. Traditional tests can be lengthy and require significant focus, posing challenges for individuals with attention deficits.
Solution
MindTension offers an objective ADHD diagnostic tool based on measuring the brain stem's reflexive response to auditory stimuli using electromyography (EMG). The technology employs a proprietary algorithm developed over twelve years of research to precisely quantify attention levels in approximately six minutes. By measuring reflexive responses and levels of inhibition, MindTension provides clinicians with accurate, physiologically-based data to improve diagnostic confidence. This enables immediate and precise adjustments to medication dosages, minimizing the risk of under or overdosing and optimizing treatment outcomes. The device also quantifies impulsive dysregulation, which can help in identifying the optimal stimulant dosage for children suffering from both ADHD and emotional dysregulation.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes therapists and clinicians specializing in ADHD diagnosis and treatment, particularly those seeking more accurate and objective methods for assessing attention deficits and optimizing medication management.
