Assessment of ARVO Web-based Software for Evaluating Attention-Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) Symptoms in Children

Assessment of ARVO Web-based Software for Evaluating Attention-Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) Symptoms in Children. Prospective, Controlled Clinical Investigation

Clinical investigation is aimed to assess the performance and safety of web-based ARVO 2.0, for evaluating possible Attention-Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) symptoms in children. Possible ADHD symptoms are recorded by using specific predetermined neurocognitive performance indicators (NPI's), derived during/from the game.

Results of ARVO are compared to the Conners Continuous Performance Test 3rd Edition™ (CPT 3) that is a task-oriented, automated 14-minute computerized assessment of attention-deficit (AD) related problems in individuals aged 8 years and older.

Performance and safety of ARVO and CPT 3 are compared in two clinical investigation populations, 8-13 years old ADHD children and typically developing (TD) children of the same age. Test are performed by the subject while monitoring adult supervises safety of the use.
