“…Statistical significance was not observed for the quality of life [55] or selfefficacy [34] measures which interestingly, only featured in two of the included RCTs [34,55]. Although a trend towards improved symptoms [58,61] and executive functioning [63] was observed in three of the included studies [58,61,63], no formal statistical analysis was undertaken and the sample sizes were small ranging from one to eight participants. Therefore, these findings should be interpreted with caution.…”

“…Of the fourteen included studies in this review, the interventions assessed include two tablet devices [59,60] two mobile applications [58,62], the use of a Wii remote control [61], computer software [51, 54] and computer games [34,52,53,[55][56][57]63]. Following exclusions, outcome measure assessment (Appendix 5) and quality assessment of the fourteen included studies was conducted (appendices 3 and 4).…”

“…Overall, the included non-RCTs obtained low scores on the Downs and Black scale. Out of a maximum score of 32, two studies scored eleven [59,60], three scored nine [61][62][63] and one obtained a score of six [58]. A number of conclusions could be drawn from this including low sample sizes and the non-RCT nature of the studies (thus obtaining low scores on items that assess whether or not participants and research staff are blinded).…”

“…Ten of the fourteen included studies [34,[51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58]63] used ordinal scales of measurement all with established psychometric properties. Twelve of the included studies [34,51,[53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62] used scales of measurement that did not have established psychometric properties.…”

A number of technologies to help self-manage attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and young people (YP) have been developed. This review will assess the level of evidence for the use of such technologies. The review was undertaken in accordance with the general principles recommended in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis. 7545 studies were screened. Fourteen studies of technology that aim to self-manage difficulties associated with ADHD in children and YP were included. Primary outcome measures were measures that assessed difficulties related to ADHD. Databases searched were MEDLINE, Web of Science (Core collection), CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, ProQuest ASSIA, PsycINFO and Scopus. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed. This review highlights the potential for the use of technology in paediatric ADHD management. However, it also demonstrates that current research lacks robustness; using small sample sizes, non-validated outcome measures and little psychoeducation component. Future research is required to investigate the value of technology in supporting children and YP with ADHD and a focus psychoeducation is needed.

BackgroundAttention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder in children and adolescents. Recent studies show that video games have great potential for the treatment and rehabilitation of ADHD patients.The aim of the present review is to systematically review the scientific literature on the relationship between video games and ADHD, focusing on adherence to treatment, frequency of the intervention, and the long‐term follow‐up of video games in children and adolescents with ADHD.MethodsThe preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta‐analyses guidelines were adopted. The review protocol was registered in PROSPERO database. We searched in three databases, PubMed, Medline, and Web of Science to identify studies examining the association between video game interventions in ADHD patients.ResultsA total of 18 empirical studies met the established inclusion criteria. The results showed that video games‐based interventions can be used to improve ADHD symptoms and display high adherence to treatment. In addition, in the studies reviewed, the most common intervention frequency is 30 min three to five times per week. However, there is little evidence from studies with video games showing long‐term effects in patients with ADHD.ConclusionVideo games are useful and effective interventions that can complement traditional treatments in patients with ADHD.

This paper reports on a study that aimed to identify different assistive technologies that are currently available to support children living with ADHD. This review is conducted by using a systematic approach by collecting and analyzing academically acknowledged qualitative as well as quantitative studies between 2011 and 2019. For the purpose of this study, assistive technologies were divided into three categories namely: 1) Wearables, 2) Mobile technology and applications and 3) Computer-based technology. It was also found that some believe that the use of technology cannot be the aid to support children living with ADHD in a school environment. These results indicate that even though there are several assistive technology solutions that are currently present, there were mixed conclusions on the effectiveness of utilizing assistive technology as an aid of ADHD.
