A Virtual Reality App to Diagnose ADHD | by Daryle Lockhart | inTech @Pharmative
This year at the Disrupt NY Hackathon, a team of high school students from New Jersey found an innovative use of virtual reality was shown to help diagnose attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
The designers aim to simplify the process of diagnosing ADHD. “ReVive”, as it's called, works by having the user go through challenges involving concentration, reaction time, and motor skills. You'll navigate mazes, stand still in a designated virtual space, as well as other tests.
It all adds up to a final score thats presented to an evaluating clinician when you're done. Your physician will still be a part of the process in evaluating your ADHD, but this will help get data on you as a patient with an immersive, believable experience through VR.
There's no published data on VR tests or ReVive, because it';s new. But, it demonstrates the continued potential of VR in healthcare.

Yeah, one would really want to see published study data on such a thing.
@Ben Ryan Absolutely! Right now this is just a potential application to do rigourous studies. More research for sure.
Interesting, more research needs to be done! Dr. J.
