Ever wish you could measure your progress with your meds so you could share it with your clinician? Or are you a clinician who wishes there was a decision-support tool that measures your patients’ progress in relation to their medication?
Why do we ask? Glad you asked!
iFocus is a tool being developed by ADHDers for ADHDers with the aid of leading clinicians and researchers — such as Dr. Parells, Dr. Sarah Cheyette, and Dr. Glen Elliot. It is a tool that tracks eye movement over a series of tests: 4 done without medication and 2 done with medication.
Research is still in the early stages, with the intent to do additional research studies in the future.
The tool is being developed with the intention of gaining an objective measure of on- and off-medication performance. Of course, this tool is still in development. As a patient, it should not be used to make your own decisions, but rather given to your clinician as an extra data point for them. Meanwhile, for you clinicians, this tool should not replace the current self-reporting process (in other words, it’s worth noting, but decisions shouldn’t be based heavily on the tool alone).
We’re sharing this with you, our community, so that you can try it out and so iFocus can see if there’s any interest for this tool to be developed further.
If you do try it out - iFocus would absolutely LOVE to hear your feedback!
Want to check out iFocus? You can check out their website here! >> ifocus.health
We’re excited to see new tools being developed and hope to see even more in the future!
