Future of ADHD Care: Evaluating the Efficacy of ChatGPT in Therapy Enhancement
20 Mar 2024 • Santiago Berrezueta

We are thrilled to share that our research paper has been published in the volume 9 of Healthcare Journal. Flowchart to generate a custom ChatGPT. Our latest research paper presents a pioneering study on the integration of ChatGPT, a large language model, into therapeutic settings for children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This work delves into how AI can significantly enhance ADHD treatment methods beyond conventional pharmacological approaches. By employing the Delphi method for systematic forecasting and involving a panel of child ADHD therapy experts, the study assesses ChatGPT’s effectiveness in simulated therapy scenarios.
