Data-driven mechanistic analysis of digital therapeutic–assisted training and evaluation of personalized protocol effects in children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder
Clinical Report: Mechanistic Insights from Data Analysis of Digital Therapeutics in Tailored Training for Pediatric ADHD Management
Overview
This study investigates the mechanisms of performance decline in digital therapeutics for children with ADHD and compares a personalized protocol to a standard protocol. Results indicate that impulsivity and speed-accuracy trade-offs significantly affect training performance.
Background
ADHD is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder in children, characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, often leading to long-term functional impairments. Traditional treatment primarily involves pharmacotherapy, which can have adverse effects.

Key Findings
Performance decline was more associated with commission errors (impulsivity) than omission errors.
A speed–accuracy trade-off was observed, where faster responses led to increased error rates.
The personalized protocol resulted in greater improvements in attentional control compared to the standard protocol.
Both groups had identical total training volumes, ensuring a fair comparison.
Pre–post assessments utilized the Comprehensive Attention Test (CAT) and Korean ADHD Rating Scale (K-ARS).
Clinical Implications
The findings indicate that personalized digital therapeutic protocols may address specific performance decline mechanisms.
Conclusion
This study highlights the mechanisms of performance decline in ADHD management through digital therapeutics.
