This VR Eye-Tracking Game Could Help with ADHD Diagnoses
Michael Hemsworth — December 21, 2022 — Lifestyle
This VR eye-tracking game is being proposed as a way to help objectively help health administrators to diagnose ADHD amongst children to deliver a more effective approach to the notoriously difficult process. The game builds on the EPELI virtual reality (VR) game that was previously developed as a way to monitor the ADHD symptoms a person might be having. The diagnostic tool could work effectively as a way to track for patterns found in eye movements and works in combination with machine learning.
One of the original developers of EPELI Topi Siro spoke on the VR eye-tracking game saying, "The player has to remember the tasks despite distractions in the environment, such as a TV being on. The game measures everything: how much the child clicks on the controls and how efficiently they perform the tasks. Efficiency correlates with everyday functioning, whereas children with ADHD often have challenges."
