ADHD, or attention hyperactivity disorder may be a worrying mental health problem for children as well as affecting adults. Although it is important to pay attention to the signs and warning symptoms from the earliest onset, the researchers have developed a new technique, using applications on smartphones Helping people and ADHD caregivers help accurately identify symptoms related to intellectual disabilities and other related symptoms. token. Researchers at the University of California-Davis Health in the US said that the most common genetic causes of intellectual disabilities are Down syndrome and broken X syndrome. The goal of researchers at the University of California-Davis Health in the US is to monitor symptoms related to the executive function, often related to attention hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), using electrical applications. The new smartphone is called ‘Ibehavior’. “It is a really smart way to use technology and it can make a big difference in the accuracy of the measurement in clinical trials,” said David Hessl, a professor at the department. Psychiatry and behavioral science at UC Davis Mind Institute. Hessl has received $ 431,000 funding in two years from the National Health Institute (NIH) for the project. Research will focus on children and young people with intellectual disabilities. “Most of the clinical trials focus on Hessl people saying that people with intellectual disabilities have relied on the questionnaire of parents or caregivers, like paper evaluation ladders and traditional pencils. That means families have to remember for a long time – sometimes a few weeks – how their children’s behavior. ” Ecological, in which parents or teachers observe children or young people and make ratings about behavior close to the time of that behavior occur, “Hessl added. families will be trained on how to use how to use Application and what behaviors need to search. The application will send a message when they start observing their children or teenagers, they will observe for two hours, then they will receive a one Other messages said it was time to record what they observed. Occasionally worried and dodged, etc. can occur daily. Class teacher may also be asked to participate. There is currently no treatment for broken X syndrome; Only symptomatic treatments. The researchers hope that this application will improve the assessment of a child’s behavior before, during and after treatment as well as improve the assessment of potential targeting treatments.
