Future of ADHD Care: Evaluating the Efficacy of ChatGPT in Therapy Enhancement

We are thrilled to share that our research paper has been published in the volume 9 of Healthcare Journal.

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. It explores ChatGPT’s capabilities in empathy, adaptability, and communication, aiming for a responsible integration of AI into healthcare to positively impact therapy and patient care. While showcasing the potential benefits of ChatGPT in ADHD care, such as personalization and accessibility, it also highlights the need for enhancements in privacy, cultural sensitivity, and interpreting nonverbal cues. The study emphasizes the importance of merging technological innovation with a comprehensive understanding of patient needs and ethical considerations, paving the way for a new era of AI-assisted therapy .
