A new game designed to treat some ADHD symptoms in kids aged 8-12 has been officially approved by the The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, meaning that anyone who wants to attempt treating children with the game needs to get a prescription first.
As AP report, itās not only the first time the organisation has approved the use of ādigital therapyā for the treatment of ADHD, but itās also āthe first time the agency has ever authorized marketing of a game-based therapy for any conditionā.
The game, called EndeavorRx, uses a combination of sensory and motor challenges to āhelp the player improve cognitive functioningā.
You can see a trailer courtesy of The Verge below, who also note that the game is based on a study by doctors whoā¦were on the developerās payroll. Hrm.
