“…Of the 19 studies included in this review, 6 studies (32%) were purely development research papers with no measured outcomes (16,18,19,24,29,34), 4 studies (21%) were experimental designs (23,25,27,32), 8 studies (42%) were mixed methods studies (developmental studies which measured some primary outcome) (14, 15, 17, 20-22, 28, 31), and 1 paper (5%) was a case report (30).…”

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder associated with significant morbidity. Current treatment approaches consist of a mixture of pharmacological and psychological approaches. The emergence of digital technology, and mobile gaming applications, represents a promising novel method in potentially augmenting existing interventions for ADHD. In this review, we will map out the use of mobile gaming applications in the management of ADHD and evaluate the effectiveness of these technologies and any areas for future research. Four electronic databases were searched for relevant articles. All articles were screened for abstract and full text by two independent reviewers, and data extracted onto a common data extraction sheet. The data was narratively synthesized and reported in line with the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. A total of 19 studies were included. Studies mostly evaluated the effectiveness of games on male children with ADHD. Most games were focused on the treatment of ADHD, while a minority were focused on the diagnosis and monitoring of ADHD. Some of the common gaming mechanisms employed in games included having participants responding to cures, remembering details, and making associations between different entities. The studies generally showed an improvement in performance of children as they played the games, but evidence for the effectiveness of these modalities remains scarce and mixed. While it is exciting that there is such a wide variety of games available currently in the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of ADHD, many of the games lack clinical evidence to prove their effectiveness. Furthermore, most studies contain several limitations including small sample size, limited ages of participants, lack of control group, and lack of comprehensive outcomes. To promote the application of these games to clinical practice, robust clinical trials, collaboration between stakeholders and using a comprehensive set of outcome measurements is essential.

“…For example, the games described by Craven et al, was primarily designed to monitor symptoms of ADHD ( 16), but could potentially be a therapeutic tool for ADHD in children. (29). Therefore, the description for PANDAS was collapsed under one row.…”

Background Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder diagnosed using DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) criteria. Medications are the primary treatment, leading to the emergence of mobile apps as alternative solutions to support people with ADHD. Purpose This review uses the Arksey and O'Malley scoping framework to assess mobile apps for ADHD. It examines their characteristics, target users, treatment modalities, treatment techniques, gamification elements, and medical support. Methods We searched for relevant records published within the 2013–2023 period in eight digital libraries and explored two virtual app stores (Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store). We found 1,562 potentially relevant apps, 63 of which were analyzed in the review. The apps were categorized as either commercial or non-commercial and further divided into video game and non-video game apps. The study revolved around six research questions. Results The majority (27%) of ADHD apps promote cognitive treatment, while 16% clinical diagnosis aid. The prioritized treatment techniques are cognitive (15.5%) and executive functions (10.85%) techniques. Only two of the 35 commercial apps are medically endorsed. Levels and statistics are the most popular gamification elements. Conclusions The study demonstrates the wide availability of mental health apps catering to individuals diagnosed with ADHD as well as parents and caregivers. Furthermore, it highlights various areas for future research and development, aiming to facilitate the integration of digital health interventions, particularly mobile apps, to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD.
