Digital medicine company Akili has introduced a new immersive mobile video game treatment called EndeavorOTC to enhance attention in adults suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
EndeavorOTC is developed using the same technology as the company’s EndeavorRx, a prescription digital therapeutic indicated for children aged between eight and 12 years with ADHD, which is also claimed to be the first video game treatment approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
EndeavorOTC can now be obtained nationwide by adults aged 18 years and above, without the need for a prescription and its introduction took place following clinical trial data that was released last month.
The trial results showed that EndeavorOTC demonstrated significant improvements in attention, focus, ADHD symptoms and overall quality of life among adults with ADHD.
Akili CEO Eddie Martucci said: “The core technology inside EndeavorOTC has helped thousands of children with ADHD and recently has shown it dramatically helped adults in our clinical trial improve their focus, time management and organisational skills and their ability to keep track of important items.”
Akili launched EndeavorOTC within the framework of the FDA’s enforcement policy, which was put in place during the Covid-19 pandemic.
