Summary

The aim of this study is to develop an application in order to identify the most relevant cognitive and behavioral parameters for the diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in conditions closer to reality

Detailed description

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder in school-aged children. This disorder is characterized by a symptomatic triad associating, inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Cognitive, emotional and behavioral dysfunctions have a strong impact on the school, family and social domains of the child. The clinical diagnosis of ADHD is all the more difficult because there are currently no biological, clinical or psychological markers that accurately measure the symptoms of ADHD. The diagnosis is made during interviews with specialist doctors allowing the collection of information from parents and the child. Virtual reality technology is most recognized as a tool for assessment, rehabilitation of cognitive processes and functional skills. In addition to traditional diagnostic assessment methods, a virtual reality application in an immersive room (CAVE) in three dimensions could objectively assess the child in a dynamic environment that is as close as possible to everyday situations
