How it works

Diagnoses of ADHD and autism are linked to different areas of the brain. By stimulating the brain and comparing the response to that of a healthy population, healthcare professionals can identify potential disorders. This comparison is achieved through algorithms applied to the Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) curves, providing key insights to aid existing psychiatric diagnostic tools and methods.

Measurement

The measurement takes 15 to 20 minutes and is a simple procedure patented by SensoDetect. It can be administered by a trained nurse or caregiver. The patient sits in a dark, quiet room while clicks are played through headphones, and the brainstem response is recorded using five connected electrodes.

Analysis

The brainstem activity data is sent to SensoDetect for brain analysis support (BAS). The data is translated into an audiogram with curves representing the Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR). This ABR is compared to those of a healthy population and diagnosed groups with ADHD and autism, offering unbiased decision support for diagnosis and treatment. Each discrepancy in the curve can be linked to a specific disorder. The audiograms are sent to a healthcare professional, who reviews the results as a complement to other observations in the screening process.
