Hyperactivity Assessment in Children With Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Clinical diagnosis of this disorder depends of history taking, parent report, and questionnaire. Attention test such as continuous performance test can provide quantitative measurement on attention deficits; however, there is a lack of objective tool to quantify the activity level. This study aims to assess activity level in children with ADHD. We plan to recruit 50 children with ADHD and 50 neurotypical children. The activity level measured by wearable device will be compared between ADHD and neurotypical children. The correlation between behavior rating on questionnaire and quantitative data measured by wearable device will be analyzed.
