Virtual Reality (VR) Diagnostic Tool for Attention Deficits/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder. The common diagnostic of ADHD is based on psychiatric examination and interview. So far, there is not any other diagnostic tool for ADHD nowadays. Therefore, virtual reality (VR) technology can be used as a stimulus, replacing real stimuli, recreating experiences, which are in the real world would be impossible. Consequently, ADHD-VR diagnostic tool development should be started to justify the ADHD diagnosis in psychiatric out-patient clinical services.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Diagnostic test is a very essential in modern medical practices, especially in child and adolescent psychiatry field because the main diagnostic tool is only based on psychiatry interview and observation. Using Diagnostic tool can help a confirmation towards specific clinical diagnosis, provide more evidence for eliminating one diagnosis versus another, provide more evidence for parents, or to rule out the differential diagnosis. Even though psychiatric examination is the main approach on ADHD diagnostic procedure, however the laboratory testing or imaging examination is also used especially to rule out the general medical condition or to find out any medical conditions that mimic ADHD but not to facilitate the ADHD diagnosis per se. Nowadays, the expand study in biological psychiatry has found a lot of biological markers in ADHD as well; but none is really sensitive and specific for ADHD diagnostic test. Therefore, there should be another approach for developing diagnostic tool in ADHD. VR is one of the best approach bacasue these days, because VR as an ADHD diagnostic tool could create and replace real stimuli, recreating experiences, which could not be observed by the clinician at the out-patient clinic.

Design Details

Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
Allocation: Non-Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Interventional Model Description: There is two group of children: Group 1: Children with ADHD Group 2: Children without ADHD as a control group Both group will running the ADHD-VR diagnostic test and goes to diagnosis by child psychiatrist. The outcomes that were analyzed: The sensitivity, specificity and Likelihood ratio of the ADHD-VR diagnostic test in detecting the ADHD clinical symptoms and executive function Content validity of the ADHD-VR diagnostic test
Masking: Triple


Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Children with ADHD<br>Children with ADHD that running the ADHD-VR diagnostic test and also did the psychiatric examination to determine the ADHD diagnosis and to rule out other mental disorders | Device: ADHD-VR diagnosis tool<br>* Since that time and in accordance with the application area, several definitions have been formulated: for example, Fuchs and Bishop (1992) defined VR as real-time interactive graphics with 3D models, combined with a display technology that gives the user the immersion in the model world and direct manipulation; Gigante (1993) described VR as The illusion of participation in a synthetic environment rather than external observation of such an environment. VR relies on a 3D, stereoscopic head-tracker displays, hand/body tracking and binaural sound. VR is an immersive, multi-sensory experience; and Virtual reality refers to immersive, interactive, multi-sensory, viewer-centered, 3D computer generated environments and the combination of technologies required building environments.<br>|
| Active Comparator: Children without ADHD<br>Healthy children that also running the ADHD-VR diagnostic test and also psyhchiatric examination to rule out the ADHD diagnosis and other mental disorders | Device: ADHD-VR diagnosis tool<br>* Since that time and in accordance with the application area, several definitions have been formulated: for example, Fuchs and Bishop (1992) defined VR as real-time interactive graphics with 3D models, combined with a display technology that gives the user the immersion in the model world and direct manipulation; Gigante (1993) described VR as The illusion of participation in a synthetic environment rather than external observation of such an environment.
