Dr Maddie Groom has been working with a team of researchers at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King’s College London, investigating remote measurement technology in ADHD.

The ADHD Remote Technology (ART) research programme, led by Professor Jonna Kuntsi and Professor Richard Dobson, focuses on the development and application of a new remote measurement technology system for ADHD and associated disorders.

The ART pilot study included people with ADHD and a comparison group, using a new remote assessment system to gather data. Remote measurement technology included questionnaires and tasks alongside monitoring via a wearable device and smartphone sensors.

Data collection has now ended, giving researchers valuable information about how well these new remote measures capture the symptoms of ADHD and changes over time, and how individuals with ADHD and the comparison group found these measures.

Long-term, the aim of the ART research programme is to improve outcomes and support healthy lifestyles for people with ADHD by enabling self-management, personalisation of treatment and engagement with clinical teams.

Data from this pilot project will be used to inform a larger clinical study, the ADHD Remote Technology study of Cardiometabolic Risk factors and Medication Adherence (ART-CARMA), recruiting 300 adults with ADHD in the UK and Spain. 

MindTech’s Dr Maddie Groom is Director of the Centre for ADHD and Neurodevelopmental Disorders Across the Lifespan (CANDAL) at the Institute of Mental Health.
